Alan,

Can you go ahead and set up another space for us named VCLDOC?  Then, we can 
limit access to contributing to that space to people who have a CLA on file 
and configure the autoexported contents to be copied to

http://incubator.apache.org/vcl/

to use as our official documentation.

Thanks,
Josh
