I can understand your concern John. However one thing to notice is
that, most of the people who complain are the people who are not so
familiar with CakePHP (and that includes myself). Even if we are
willing to help, we lack the guts.

In my case, I have had a look at CakePHP more than a year ago, then I
was turned downed because the documentation back then was horrible (no
offense here). Now, I have some experience with Ruby on Rails and Code
Igniter, I decided to give CakePHP another try. It's glad to see that
the documentation is much better than it was a year ago, e.g. the
resource in bakery is brilliant. However, the manual still needs a lot
of work. Not that I am complaining, I praise the work you guys have
done, for an open source project like CakePHP it's really really
impressive. However, what if the lead developers pause the code
development for a while and transfer the effort into making a more
complete manual? I believe this will only do good for the project and
the community. No one other than the developers themselves knows
exactly the ins and outs of the system. By documenting the whole system
deeply, you're actually reviewing the project, and that will probably
give you some hints on what part of the project (in terms of coding)
might need to be enhanced or modified, it's a win-win situation don't
you think so? =)

That being said, I am not suggesting that people should always expect
someone else to spoon feed them, in fact, I wish that a better manual
to bring more people into our community and therefore more things can
be done.

Just my 2 cents.
