Content in the Bakery is also tagged by version. It's actually meant to get old gracefully. You know its old, because you see that its labeled 0.9x or 1.1x, etc. The wiki was a festering pit of misinformation. I cannot say that enough. Sure, there were a few articles that were good, but on the whole, it was a horrible source of problems. As the documentation lead, and someone that takes on support in the IRC channel most of the day, I can say–without doubt–the axing of the wiki is a most wonderful thing. > From a new user starting up cake POV, if you see the wiki and the > main site, it seems less integrated and has the impression of an > incomplete framework.

Well said otherwise, though. :) The Bakery is most definitely the vision for the future. It allows the community to contribute (like the wiki did) but it allows us to verify the quality of the content, and store it in a way that will get old gracefully. The only drawback with the Bakery is the lull in content. The wiki had some good stuff (somewhere, I suppose), and there will be some growing pains that result from not having it around. But, it is community contributed, and we still have the ghost of the wiki in Google cache for a while. Jump in and move things you think are cake- worthy. The Bakery will only get better (while the wiki would have only gotten worse). -- John --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.
