Editing the Documentation
Documentation Workflow
Changes to the documentation can be requested to the issue tracker,
or created via Pull Requests to the Github repository. You can notice a button
in the upper left corner labeled Edit on GitHub which helps you create changes to the docs.
The Struts 2 Documentation space is bundled with the Struts distribution, and, eventually, the content may be checked
into an ASF repository. Accordingly, all volunteers working to this space must have a CLA on file.
The project also hosts a second Confluence space, the Struts 2 wiki,
which can be edited by anyone who creates an account.

Documentation Workflow
Since projects like Struts wear our code “on our sleeve”, there’s always a discussion over whether the website should
represent the latest documentation or the documentation for the “best available” release. Over the years, we’ve done it
one way and the another, and now we do it both ways  :-)
http://cwiki.apache.org/WW/home.html
When we vote a test build to a release (of any flavor: alpha, beta, GA), we archive the HTML version of the documentation
for future reference. When a release is designated GA, we update the appropriate links on the main site to point
to the archival copy.
Since we bundle the HTML version of the documentation with the release, we require authors to file a CLA, to ensure that
we actually have distribution rights.
To cover all the bases, we also maintain a “community wiki”, that is not bundled with the distribution.
http://cwiki.apache.org/S2WIKI/home.html
It’s open to anyone who signs up for an account on Confluence. Sometimes, we do move documentation from the community wiki
to the documentation wiki, if the author can a CLA.
Sadly, not everyone can file a CLA. Many organizations still use aggressive IP agreement that assign rights to our every
stray thought to the company, 24/7. In fact, some organizations grant a special dispensation for the ASF so that their
employees can file CLAs.
