- help improve the website and the wiki That's the Hive wiki, so contributions to the HCatalog wiki wouldn't count. But what if we decide to put all the HCatalog docs into the Hive wiki? Would that be a contribution to Hive? I only ask because there's a ton of grunt work to be done on converting the HCatalog and WebHCat documentation from xml to wiki markup. But it's a trick question, because the current plan is to give HCat docs a separate wiki tab. One might say it's equivalent but I'm not trying to define the line between Hive and HCat -- I'm just scouting for volunteers to help with the grunt work, hoping to give them an extra incentive. – Lefty On Fri, Apr 5, 2013 at 11:38 AM, Mark Grover <grover.markgro...@gmail.com>wrote: > Francis, > You may have already seen this but I thought I'd post anyways: > https://cwiki.apache.org/Hive/becomingacommitter.html > > Mark > > On Fri, Apr 5, 2013 at 11:35 AM, Francis Liu <tof...@apache.org> wrote: > > > Thanks for your response.
