Jacques, Why do you recommend requesting changes in comments? There is no way to track them there, and a good chance fewer people (or no one) will notice them. We also have a license granting issue which is better through Jira, though technically not required (ie for legal something over a mailing list, and perhaps in a comment, is okay but Jira has an explicit contribution thingy).
I'm not sure what you meant by what you wrote here, but it is very different from what I wrote and it sounded like you were saying it was the same as what I wrote. Paul: I apologize for the confusion, quite frankly there aren't many contributions for the restricted spaces in Confluence, and as you can see there is not a consensus or even a meeting of the minds about how to handle it. I'd still recommend a Jira issue if you want to make sure your changes get tracked and don't slip through the cracks. Email and comments get lost a lot easier, and don't get seen by as many committers (especially if sent directly to a couple of people instead of to the mailing list). Comments are the same way, I don't know how many (if any) committers have notifications setup for all comments, I certainly don't. -David On May 4, 2011, at 1:16 AM, Jacques Le Roux wrote: > Though it has already been explained recently but shortly by David (I think > it's explained in the wiki somewhere also), the > established practise for Confluence (we call Wiki the open pages) is to > suggest your changes in a comment at bottom of the page to > change.
