Hi all: In trying to figure out why I can't put a graphic on http://wiki.apache.org/river/JavaBasedSOA, I found out from infra@ that attachments are disabled globally on Apache wikis. However they will enable attachments if we implement controls on who can edit pages, as per http://wiki.apache.org/general/OurWikiFarm.
Basically, right now anyone can add or edit a page on the River wiki, so long as they register. Under the tighter control recommended in 'OurWikiFarm' above, registered users would be barred from editing or adding pages until a member of the AdminGroup adds the user's name into the ContributorGroup. This is done by editing a particular page on the wiki, so it's pretty easy. I'm not sure who would be in the AdminGroup; I presume it would be committers or some subset thereof. If necessary, we could implement a process to grant wiki rights, but we'd probably be fine to leave that to discretion of the admin group, who would presumably grant the rights as requested to anyone who was known on the dev list, with fallback to private@ in case of any concerns. Does anyone have thoughts or objections? It would be nice to use the wiki for richer discussions and tutorials, and attached files/graphics would add a lot.
