[DISCUSSION] Contributing policy for WORG

[Ihor Radchenko <yantar92@posteo.net>]

Hi,

Corwin recently noticed that our
https://orgmode.org/worg/worg-about.html page is not very consistent
about whom and how should contribute to WORG.

One part of that page suggests to "Create an account on Sourcehut" and
then push changes freely, while another part suggests going through the
mailing list.

My first reflex was to make things consistent with Org code
contributions, but I recall that Bastien had somewhat different ideas
about WORG contributions - more in line with "free to push changes" and
generally with a spirit of wiki pages (Bastien, correct me if I am
making things up).

Now, thinking about it, I do believe that our general goal should be
making it easier for users to push changes to WORG - easier than
contributing code. And these days creating an account might be easier
for people compared to writing to a mailing list.

Maybe we can simplify things even more by settings something up so that
people can download, edit, and upload WORG pages right from Emacs. For
example, hyperdrive might be used as an alternative to git workflow,
especially if we can cook some kind of setup via a simple M-x <dwm>
command. (see <https://breatheoutbreathe.in/blog/2024-12-16-mirror-worg-to-a-hyperdrive.html>)

WDYT?
