Christopher Tubbs commented on WHIMSY-116:
------------------------------------------
bq. How does that need to be changed to make it clearer?
Sorry. I do not fully know, because I do not know what it looks like when it's
working. That part may already be 100% correct and sufficient, but only a PMC
Chair would experience it that way. If what is there is accurate, but only for
PMC Chairs, then it may suffice to mention that the feature is restricted to
PMC Chairs. It would also help to clarify whether it is required to update
committee-info.txt still or not.
While I can't say if what is there about Whimsy is correct, I can say with
certainty that what is there about the ldap scripts is flat out incorrect,
since those have been "disabled".
> Update documentation to add new PMC member

> Key: WHIMSY-116
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WHIMSY-116
> Project: Whimsy
> Issue Type: Task
> Components: Roster
> Reporter: Christopher Tubbs
>
> I tried to use Whimsy to add a new PMC member, but wasn't able to get it to
> work. I'm a PMC member and an ASF Member, and was performing this because our
> PMC chair was not immediately available (and also I wanted to learn the
> process).
> So, I followed the old procedure of updating committee-info.txt with SVN (is
> that still necessary with Whimsy? It's not clear.) and manually running the
> ldap scripts, as described on http://www.apache.org/dev/pmc.html
> However, that page seems out of date. It does not describe the correct way to
> do it with Whimsy, and the instructions for using the ldap scripts no longer
> work, because the scripts have been "disabled" with a message to use Whimsy.
> (FWIW, I ended up copying the scripts, and commenting out the "exit" line
> which disabled them. The scripts should probably not be disabled unless
> Whimsy works in all cases, and should probably remain available as a backup
> when Whimsy fails.)
> The purpose of this issue is to fix the outdated documentation at
> http://www.apache.org/dev/pmc.html (assuming Whimsy is working 100%) or to
> restore the currently documented functionality.
