Hi Mathieu No worries. Normally when people request access to our wiki, if they don’t have an ICLA then I send them the link to the contributors page to take a look at because it includes a link to the discussion about introducing it, when it was introduced (in November 2014) and what it means to sign an ICLA. A link to the original discussion link is here : https://s.apache.org/N0sF
I’ll try and explain from my perspective. The details on the wiki are an important part of the project just like the OFBiz code. Everything we do as a project is done under the Apache Licence which simply means it open and free for anyone to use. Signing an ICLA means that you understand that anything you contribute (or want to contribute) is done so under the Apache Licence and that you are happy to do this. As Jacques mentioned, for the notification, once the ICLA is filed, the PMC gets an notification directly from the secretary Hope this helps Thanks Sharan On 2018/04/17 09:55:57, Jacques Le Roux <jacques.le.r...@les7arts.com> wrote: > Hi Mathieu, > > Le 17/04/2018 à 11:33, Mathieu Lirzin a écrit : > > Hello Sharan, > > > > Sharan Foga <sha...@apache.org> writes: > > > >> I couldn't find your name in the list of people who have an > >> ICLA.
