Edward -- when streamlining this, perhaps we could move that signing email part to a footnote or something. Or just make it a different part of the NewWriters page, so we don't fool people into chasing down a difficult path. We definitely need the GPG key for the Fedora account, which causes you to do the CLA, and grants Wiki, CVS, etc. What would be nice, and I have no idea if it is feasible, is to have a route to just-Wiki that is almost like a click-through CLA. But is that advisable? Enforceable? How do you prove that the person who agreed to the CLA is anyone in particular? It could have been a friend, "Just click through this, you need that to get the EditGroup permissions." Click-throughs are passive, people can do them without thought. The sign-the-CLA-with-GPG is active. Hmm ...
