Currently anyone who adds information to the Wiki is implicitly
committing to the ASF. As per http://wiki.apache.org/cocoon/License,
their contributions automatically fall under the Apache 2 license. They
do this without signing a CLA.
With Daisy the proposal seems to be that we require people who post
documents to our new Daisy repository to sign a CLA? But, good sense
suggests Daisy commenters need not. Is there any reason why this has to
be this way? Why can't all Daisy contributors be in the non-CLA signing
category. After all, all content ends up as ASF license 2.0 in the end!

Hi,
This feels like a stupid question, but what about comments? Do people
adding comments to daisy also need to sign the CLA???!
To my mind that would be overkill. After all, we've got stacks of
stuff on the wiki that isn't covered by a CLA. Comments would fall
under the same remit.

...That said, we need to discuss access policies to the Daisy
instance on our Cocoon zone. It's only logical committers are
granted "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?
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).
