I thought that non-committer write access to Confluence had been  
turned off. I now see that it was one of your questions -- my answer  
is "now".

Hernan, can you make this happen?

WRT further process questions, see inline...

We should create a geronimo/project/confluence-contributors.txt file  
in svn. When someone requests access and we've verified a CLA is on  
file, add their name to this file with confluence information. commit  
the new contents to svn.

Does the above file address this?

Now.

All.

Retroactively request ICLAs from past contributors. Address the  
problem when/if we want to use our current content in some new way

Sorry for the delay, been out for a couple of days.
I'll check the user groups and permissions. 

Cheers!
