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. - Fred --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.
