Not sure, the websites team should probably work with docs on this. I
feel like there's a lot of content on the wiki that should be
elsewhere. I think removing content from the wiki and moving it
elsewhere (docs.fp.o or fp.o) Almost like no end-user content should
end up in the wiki. (probably a dream world)

Now this click-through CLA is one that is not tied to the user correct?
Just something they're prompted with when editing the page with an
unverified account. I worry what an army of people who don't have
enough stake in Fedora to fully sign the CLA will do for/to Fedora. But
it is the open way :) I'd like to get rid of the CLA all together.
On a side note, there's going to be an FAS session during FUDCon, I'd
encourage anyone that is interested to come on by.
