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.
