Other projects allow wider access to edit wiki pages. The ones I'm

1. It raises the bar for potential wrong-doers (spammers);

worrying
that the contributor didn't intend the wiki comments as a
contribution.
That said, you can restrict wiki edit privileges however you (the
project) want to. I'm just suggesting that you might find it easier
to
deal with roles than individuals as a restriction tool.
thanks for your input. I think this is quite valuable. To which degree
do we need to care about taking over stuff from the wiki into our real
docs, if a user without iCLA contributed it?
Let me give an example: If a user writes a short example code snippet
(whatever 3-5 lines) which we would consider valuable to have in the
real docs, would he need to sign an iCLA?
I wouldn't worry too much about 3-5 LOC. But it might be easier on all
concerned to err on the side of caution.
Craig
