There are instructions for getting edit access on the geotools home page 
(near the bottom). And in the developer guide. It amounts to creating an 
account; and then logging into a system called xircles and making 
another account.

The idea is the open source projects on xircles can figure out 
permissions for the wiki and version control etc in one go. Also they 
had an easier system and the wiki was vandalized with Spam. Sad but true.

This is the "name of the type" - the following java example it would be 
"String"
class Foo {
     String description;
}
> PropertyDescriptor.getName()? 
In the above example it would be "description".

Now the names they use have a "namespace" - same kind of deal from XML - 
but most of the time you can just ignore that...

I don't have the javadocs in front of me but I will keep this in mind 
for next time I look at them.
