That was my initial thought as well, but since there was an existing escalating path (AdminGroup) I thought we may wanted to keep it for the same reason. >> I would also like to add some links eg. where to create a login, a link to >> the archive, etc... > > Sounds good.

I think we should not give too many directions on that wiki-contribution section, just the steps should suffice. And then we can add on the UserPreferences an improved section on what new users can expect and what they ought to do to get commit access. Because I expect a large part of the potential contributors just create an account on the wiki without going via the Contribute page anyhow. It makes more sense to have the bulk of instructions on that page. > btw, w.r.t subscriptions to the list, we can always just have a form > that someone fills in that does some behind-the-scenes stuff, including > subscribe the person to the list. or is that just asking for a spam > honeypot ? That would be even better, but I can live with what we have right now. Definitely put it on the project TODO list as a nice-to-have feature. Maybe time to maintain such a public generic TODO list ? The bug-tracker could be used for organisational/infrastructural work and discussions. I never was a proponent to use mantis for this, but lacking something else it might just work if we provide good views. -- -- dag wieers, dag at centos.org, http://dag.wieers.com/ -- [Any errors in spelling, tact or fact are transmission errors]
