Re: using confluence for main site documentation
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
It is my understanding that anyone can contribute to the wiki space we
currently have, but that whatever wiki space we set up to autoexport as
our "official project documentation" can only have contributors that have
signed a CLA.
This site:
http://incubator.apache.org/guides/sites.html
seems to be the guide for creating content at
http://incubator.apache.org/vcl/
Under the section titled "Using A Wiki To Create Documentation" there is
a "guidelines" link that goes to this FAQ:
http://cwiki.apache.org/CWIKI/
At the top of that pages, there is a bullet that says:
"Some Spaces are being used to create the Project documentation. Editing
access to such Spaces might be restricted to Project committers or
individuals who have filed a Contributor's License Agreement with the ASF."
This tells me there are some spaces for project documentation, and other that
are *not* for project documentation, and thus don't require a CLA to
contribute to them.
What we'd like is to have 2 areas: one where anyone can contribute content,
and another area where we can maintain the official project documentation and
have it autoexported to
http://incubator.apache.org/vcl/
Does this make sense?
Thanks,
Josh

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
