Wait a minute. OpenOffice.org is not currently in our custody as far as I know.
Whoever curated you did so with the authority they have there, not here. We're getting ahead of ourselves. Clayton has the authority Clayton has at OpenOffice.org. Ease up, please. - Dennis -----Original Message----- From: Rob Weir [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Sunday, August 07, 2011 09:31 To: [email protected] Subject: An example of what's wrong up with the wiki As mentioned before I'm concerned with the concentration of power on the wiki, with a few moderators/admins having arbitrary power over content, even though they have not signed the iCLA, are not committers and have not been appointed by the PPMC. So there is arbitrary authority, with no accountability. Having a system like this abdicates the PPMC's responsibility for providing oversight to our Apache-hosted project websites. I posted a new FAQ on the wiki today. This was to demonstrate that anyone could post anything on the wiki, under any license. The post was quickly taken down and my account was permanently blocked. This was done by someone who is not a PPMC member. In fact this was a person who recently announced that he was leaving the project because they had no time to participate. But evidently there is no process for removing someone's super-user permissions once they claim to have left the project. There was no discussion on the ooo-dev or ooo-private about the content removal. Nor was there any discussion of the account ban. It was just done. This is not how Commit Then Review works at Apache. This proves my point that we need to have all wiki users with permissions over other users to be Committers. Only committers should have the ability to revert content made by other committers. And this should only be done with discussion. -Rob
