When people balk at accomplishing a minor technical task to gain entry, it makes me wonder. I personally consider that being able to obtain and use a GPG key *should* be a requirement for anyone representing Fedora. If they are stopped from participating by that ... well, disappointing, but, oh, well. Anyway, that's just MHO and does not represent the direction I am backing for Fedora. I've conceded that the idea of using a click-through CLA for the Wiki should be OK, but not because I think we should require less from all Fedora contributors. For me, it's a follow-on from allowing the Wiki in the first place. It is not a deliberate attempt to get contributions from people who are unable to figure out a simple set of instructions. It is instead a deliberate attempt to gain contributions from people who are able to follow the instructions, but refuse to do so for various reasons. Because there are enough of them and their potential contributions are valuable enough, we are willing to work toward a middle-ground. IMO and AIUI, the question of, "To CLA or not to CLA?" is not really a question. The only valid question is, "How to CLA?" > If only a dozen of them are contributing > content, we should probably not be making all of them sign the CLA. As > simple as that. This logic does not follow. As I explain in a separate post, everything the Ambassadors do is a contribution. The question is not if someone needs a CLA with Fedora to contribute, but how they go about agreeing to/signing the CLA. - Karsten -- Karsten Wade, RHCE, 108 Editor ^ Fedora Documentation Project Sr. Developer Relations Mgr. | fedoraproject.org/wiki/DocsProject quaid.108.redhat.com | gpg key: AD0E0C41 ////////////////////////////////// \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
