Hi, this topic popped up a couple of times in the past - given the current spam incident in the Apache confluence wikis, a few more restrictions were put into place for editing pages in the wiki:

Given the need to whitelist everyone who wants to do changes to the wiki pages I wonder whether it makes sense to move most of our docs over to Apache CMS (except maybe for the most volatile pages, if there are any). The obvious disadvantage would be a higher barrier of entry for people providing docs (though prior to being whitelisted one would have to express the intent to provide improvments on the mailing list anyway). The advantage could be a clearer path towards committership for those not working on code but on technical writing. The only question concerning the move to Apache CMS I have: How easy is it to provide documentation for individtual released versions? Would it be possible to e.g. bundle the then current docs with the release? Isabel
