I've got like 5 or 6 tabs in Firefox pointing to different documents

page to gain Edit privileges to the wiki... looks like a lot (again, I
don't mind the reading, is just that seems much more complicated than it
actually is, especially for new users [both to Fedora and Wiki
systems]), just a thought for devising simpler ways (though, now that I
think of it, it may as well remain that way to discourage those who
wouldn't compromise).
I don't think that keeping it deliberating confusing is a good thing. If
we have usability issues with the wiki we need to fix that. The problem
of ensuring that the system is not compromised should be satisifed by
other means. The longer term goal is to make the CLA a click through
process.
Re-apply and follow the instructions at
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Infrastructure/AccountSystem/CLAHowTo
which is supposed to be the "to the point" link. After you get edit
access post to fedora-websites list and we can work out where we need to
simplify it.
