Request from the wiki gardener

[Sebastian Cohnen <se...@googlemail.com>]

Hey couch-devs,

I identified "security" as an imported topic that needs some (more) attention in the wiki (there has been a bunch of new features in this area recently). Unfortunately I have only minimal knowledge of CouchDB's security concepts (and even less what feature is available in which version).

Basically I would like to ask the committers for some input on that topic - texts on overview, references...

Currently I'm thinking of a structure for a new "Security"-wiki page to have smth. like a portal for this topic where all kinds of wiki pages and related material can be referenced. The available information on the security topic seems rather scattered over the wik atm.

Thoughts?

and btw: please feel free to point me to any (other) topic that needs some gardening.

Have you self-appointed as a wiki gnome? If so, wonderful! Thank you.

Maybe one of the first things you could do is set up a wiki gnome page, and form a team of go-to people for the wiki.

Nothing like knowing the people doing most of the work in one area, forming a bit of a community around it.
