For the ICLA, how much of a contributor do you need to be? Lets say I want to start off helping move the tutorials, or existing content into an apache wiki/confluence page etc, do I need to sign a ICLA?
Or is it if I start providing wide ranging code changes outside of patches/PR's attached to an issue?
