You are just a few steps ahead, that is all. I got the lawyer-based permission and guidelines for using a click-through CLA for the Wiki. When that is setup, we can stop using EditGroup for the site-wide ACLs.
When ... uh, whenever we get to it. I feel guilty every time I see an addition to EditGroup, but this one is a little lower on the current priorities. Still, what needs to be done is:
* Click-through page enabled for new users -- must check "Agree" and then submit the form. * Click-through page is (probably) an Include() of the CLA contents itself -- not very proc intensive to do that, since people only see that page when they create their account. * Confirm that ACLs for special areas (Docs/) are working.
Anything else? Other than tell people and celebrate?
The dividing line between "click-through is OK" and "need to GPG-sign" is if the user has the ability to put content directly into a content storage system from where it goes into a package (then into an ISO.) So, we can leave Docs/Beats/ open to click-through CLAers because that content is edited before going into CVS (and a package), all done by people who have signed the CLA with a GPG key. This is analogous to patches and such that come in via mailing lists and bugzilla. The special locations such as Docs/ are Wiki-based publishing points, so Docs Project contributor guidelines come into play.
