I had some "outsider" comments on getting permission to write to the GeoTools wiki page, which I did today, and I wanted to quickly share them before I forgot.
I think that Step 4 and Step 5 under the "Getting Edit Permission" section of the following page might be duplicated: http://sites.google.com/site/openjumpwiki/gpx-support I also noticed that I could enter and use a Confluence user name greater than 17 characters, but that this wasn't allowed for Xircles. I don't have any idea what Confluence and Xircles are, but this was somewhat frustrating. In summary, getting write permission on the wiki seems like a pain-in-the-neck. After the user is done with the 5 steps, he still has to wait for approval. If GeoTools is an OSGeo project, might we consider using the OSGeo wiki? I realize the migration would be a lot of work, but we could at least start putting new content on an OSGeo GeoTools wiki page. I have no idea what conversations and/or discussion of this topic has already taken place, so please take this e-mail with a grain of salt. It just seems like signing up for the wiki was more steps than is really needed.
