Requiring IZ and CVS is a *huge* barrier.
A related problem is that the policy at OOo, including Marketing, appears to be to allow only a very few people to have commit access through CVS.
On at least two occasions during 2005 (after I finally got my SSH/CVS access working on the Documentation Project) I offered to help keep the Marketing Project's pages up to date, but my offers were rejected because "we don't want to give too many people access". Results: (1) continuing long delays to make the simplest changes, often resulting in the changes being made too late for the events they related to and (2) completely alienating a previously willing and enthusiastic volunteer.
It's stupid to have to file an issue to correct a few typos or add a bit of time-critical information, which could be done in less time that it takes to file the issue; and when those people who do have commit privileges are ill or too busy to make the changes, the changes simply don't get made.
Is this policy changing to allow -- or perhaps even encourage -- more people to have CVS access (assuming they can get it working)?
