I really like the idea David, CakePHP definitely needs more and better marketing. What I disagree with is that only a core developer or something with a lot of experience can write such articles or help promoting the framework, anyone could start adding their experiences with CakePHP, even just to say "It made my day a bit easier".
What would you propose to encourage more people contributing that kind of feedback? Would you be willing to write an article we can expose as a case study?
