This is not possible at this time.

We welcome contributions, but we must see some results before giving you
rights to change things.  This goes for all developers, be they coders,
support crew or documenters.

At the moment only developers have write access to the wiki.  The ACLs
don't currently allow this, and yes quality is of major importance to
us.  I would suggest that you create the document, put it on a website,
we will check it and if it is up to scratch then we will add it.

But axisgw is not phpgw.  There wiki is designed for ideas, ours is
designed for documentation.

I hope you can understand the need for such policies.
