Speaking strictly as an interested observer, can anyone explain why
Fedora Docs doesn't use the same license and sign up process as
Wikipedia?

While we cannot use the GNU FDL as Wikipedia does (see below for
background[1]), we certainly can allow a simpler process to get
contributors on the wiki. A click-through CLA (read, then click "OK, I
agree") is sufficient, but not enabled in our version of Moin Moin.
Resolving this should be a higher priority. We're challenged by a
release process not our own.
Let's ask Mike (under a new thread) about what it would take to
circumnavigate this.

I plan to be at the FUDCon and I'll post a session now on "Simplifying
the Onboarding Process for the Fedora Project" or something similar.
I'm not sure I'm the best guy to lead it though. Red Hat Legal should
definitely be involved in the discussion at FUDCon.
Done. See http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/JohnBabich/SimplifyingOnboarding.

All of this legal crap is too too much for me. I know it is
necessary but it appears I decided to join the group at the single worst
time. I expect the changes in the Documentation is so in progress it is
why the things I am trying to do don't work.
To my understanding right now no-one is writing a thing. I tried to
join to write and feel good about improving things so you stop hearing
how poor the Fedora Help is.
So I will just wait until it is possible to sign up in an hour.
Until then there will be few new writers.
