+1
As a non-committer with no CLA filed at ASF yet, I find this a *huge*
barrier. The idea of a seperate section is good and saves the main
website from Spammers. Apart from that an open source software wiki
should be a wiki for everyone!

Hi Betrand,
I think the question who can edit the wiki is a more general one and
actually I like it the way Cocoon handles it. The Cocoon MoinMoin
Wiki has no access control whatsoever and this means that the
barrier for contribution is much lower than here in Sling.
I know that the Sling website is built from the wiki, so this is a
sensible issue, perhaps we could have something like a scratchpad
wiki space that is completely open and keep access to the main wiki
tightly limited to committers.
As much as a like to write about Sling in my blog, some pieces
should go to the Wiki, for others to check and refine if things
change.
regards,
Lars

I'm +1 on giving write access to our wiki to people who are active in
the Sling community, after a committer's vote, and once these people
have a CLA on file with the ASF [1] (As a Cocoon committer, Lars does
have one).
That access would be subject to the usual rules for committing code:
people have to revert their changes if a committer opposes them (with
justification), and for "big changes" we'd like people to ask or hold
a vote first.
There's no official concept of "wiki committers" at the ASF yet, so
we
might want to limit this "experiment" to the Sling incubation period.

there's so much happening here ;-)
