Exactly. The barrier to contribution should be as close to sea level as
possible. I am fully capable of firing up the SPI infrastructure on a
test instance, am I going to? No. I have better things to do.

Now, if you give me the ability to log into the website, write a blog or
an article or update a web page with more relevant info that can be
queued for review and then published? Yes, I would happily do that.
