While I can't disagree with anything Ted said above, in my opinion, a
tutorial on "Struts 2 + Spring 2 + JPA + AJAX " is actually more appropriate
for the Struts wiki, rather than as part of the official documentation. That
being the case, you don't need to file a CLA and / or wait for it to be
recorded, and can get started right away.

There is also a Struts wiki at

* http://cwiki.apache.org/S2WIKI/home.html

that can be edited by anyone who takes out a JIRA account. Likewise,
the Plugin site is open to all comers

* http://cwiki.apache.org/S2PLUGINS/home.html

The other space is the "official" documentation that we distribute
with the framework. Since we *distribute* the documentation to the
general public under the Apache License, we need to be sure that we
have the rights to do so. Otherwise, we could be misleading people as
to what rights we are granting to them. It is true that the ASF is a
stickler when it comes to licenses, but, personally, I believe that's
one reason why people put so much trust into ASF products.

There isn't a ping-back system for CLA filings, so be sure to hit us
over the head a week or so after faxing it in to check to see that it
has gone on file.(And do fax. Sending a CLA to the ground mail address
takes even longer.)

Until you submit your contributor agreement and get access to edit the
pages, you can leave comments on the pages.  Someone who does have
edit rights will then be able to incorporate your suggestions into the
page.  I've done this a few times as I still haven't sent in my
contributor agreement.

Re: Need rights for documentation

You need to file a contributors agreement with Apache:
http://struts.apache.org/2.x/docs/editing-the-documentation.html

I ran into this same situation and got my answer on the #struts
channel on Freenode.

The following comment is off topic, since I'm sure it is more of an
issue with the ASF than Struts, but I think it is too bad that the
"cost of entry" for contributing to the Struts 2 documentation on
cwiki is as high as it is.  I wish that Struts 2 Documentation cwiki
edits could fall under some sort of "click through" license agreement
like that used by Wikipedia.  A personal anecdote as to why this would
be nice is that I have yet to send in my agreement, though I have
every intention of doing so.

Josh

p.s. I'm going to go print the agreements out now.
