Dag,

Agree.  Perhaps I was not sufficiently explicit, but in my mind the
process might be something like this:

1. Join the -docs list and offer to contribute something.
2. Implement the contribution and respond to comments.
3. Remain active for some probationary period, TBD.
4. Request members Wiki access granting privileges to edit existing
pages not explicitly protected and create new pages in "public" areas of
the Wiki. [1]
5. Agree to conditions (TBD) for such access, as determined by the core
developers or other designated responsible parties.
6. Continue to actively participate as a good citizen of the community.

Abusers or non-participants for some period of months would lose access
privileges.

[1]: "Public" might exclude sections such as QA or other
limited-membership areas, and sections whose authors explicitly request
exclusive rights.


Feel free to reply on- or off-list.

Regards,
Phil
