Can I ask what the hold up is with the icla's? If he's going to contribute in a meaningful way, he needs to get that in. > I am confused at this point what is possible- Daniel mentioned that > the MoinMoin wiki is world-editable, while Bertrand pointed out there > could be a public Confluence wiki too (indeed this is the case with > SLING).

That's not a problem. They question is how useful will it be? ANYTHING that gets added there cannot be then moved over into official documentation or into svn or anything like that. It sounds to me like you want a place to start collaborating on some design docs and such. In that case, it really CANNOT go on a public wiki as, most likely, it would get moved into official docs as it gets finalized. That's mostly why I HIGHLY recommend getting on the ball and getting ICLA's in. One note: in the non-world-editable confluence space, anyone can create comments attached to pages. Thus, you could start some pages and he or anyone else could comment on it. You could then use the comments to adjust things, etc.... Anyway, I'd like to here the full use case that you and Richard are trying to achieve on a public wiki. If its potential documentation or web site material, then no, it doesn't go on a public wiki and no need to create one. -- Daniel Kulp [email protected] http://dankulp.com/blog
