Fair - I'm obviously better positioned than most to make that assessment. If that is your goal, though, I think you should make that explicit in the documentation: instead of pointing at the CCLA and then making the CCLA painful/irritating to sign (which makes you look, frankly, amateur), you should say bluntly "if this is your corporation's first time contributing, you should put your corporate lawyers or product managers in touch with corporate@openstack.org <mailto:corporate@openstack.org>, who can help explain the process, point them at appropriate documentation (including this CCLA[link]) ..." etc.
I amended the wiki page. Now it reads:
If you are contributing on behalf of a company or organization, you still need to sign the Individual CLA above but your company's corporate lawyer (or similarly high in rank) also needs to sign the Corporate Contributor License Agreement providing a list of people authorized to commit code to OpenStack. Request a printable copy by emailing the OpenStack Foundation.
Hopefully this makes it better, until we have a more self-service system.
