Hello!
I've just contributed some corrections to a Mozilla page and was
astonished by the speed this happened.
Mozilla has a system called "Doctor" which enables you Wiki-like editing
functionality. Source code is checked out via CVS, edited in a form, and
a diff is generated. If you can authenticate to the CVS server, the
patch is applied immediately, otherwise you can view the diff,
supposedly to send it someone for review.
Doctor consist of one perl cgi file, a conf file and some templates.
It's licensed under the MPL (http://www.mozilla.org/MPL/). Can we add
this functionality? Do we have policy permitting/prohibiting MPL
software to use on gnu.org?
I've seen lot's of small errors reported, that could be easily corrected
by people themselves. That would make news updates easier and faster as
well.
