5 Putting ACL's on the developer content is completely counter
6 productive in an open source project IMHO.

8 Why are you trying to make it more difficult for people who are
9 interested in hacking gentoo (and hopefully contributing back) to
10 do so.

12 All content should be readable by anyone (and even editable if you
13 are really planning on running a true wiki).
14
15 Let people read the content.

22 If you want to put ACL's on publishing to the GDN then that makes
23 sense, but not for reading and accessing.
