...That said, we need to discuss access policies to the Daisy

"User" access immediately. What about non-committer documentation
contributors?..
I suggest having a vote here before giving them access, to be
consistent with our usual way of doing things.
+1.
However, this raises the question of how they can contribute before
getting access. If they have to provide patches against existing docs,
then we loose a large part of Daisy's benefits and will refrain people
to contribute. IMO we need a kind of sandbox where non-User people can
write some docs.
Can this be achieved using a particular document collection (e.g.
sandbox or incubator) where people not yet voted User can work?
This would be difficult to maintain I think. If someone wants to edit a
document they would have to copy the file, then the committer would have
to copy the changes back.
You can however allow people to self register and give them edit rights
(but not publish). Then a committer can publish the edits once they
have been reviewed.
If you want to do this I'll talk you through the set-up (I'm not a
Cocoon committer so can't do it for you).
And I guess a CLA [1] is required before giving people access, as the
documentation is contributed to the ASF.
Yes, for people in the "doc-team" (a better name than "User"), but not
for people posting to the sandbox (same rule as the wiki).
In the above model a "user" is someone who self registered, can write
but not publish. A committer has the role "doc-team" and can publish.
In this model does a user need to have a CLA? That seems a little
restrictive. How about a mechanism like that on the new JIRA
installation in which the user has to tick a box to assign copyrights to
the ASF when uplaoding an attachement?
I'm not sure exactly how to do this, but Daisy is a Cocoon webapp, I'm
sure we can work it out, and Bruno on the Daisy dev list is *very* helpful.
