Ok I am going to throw my 2 cents into this conversation and put a stop to it.
The code is what is important, the documentation is being worked on by volunteers, as is the rest of the project. The only person who works full time on this code is me. Nate works on the code, but he also has a job outside of CakePHP. Garret is the project manager, but he also does work outside of CakePHP. John, the person who has taken charged of the documentation since joining me on this project, also has a job outside of CakePHP. It should also be noted that John has been working with me on this project longer then anyone else, so give him a break, I am not the easiest person to work with. No one is paid to do this development, be it the code or the documentation. The few donations that come into this project help cover the cost of the services that are offered to people for free. One of the things that motivates me to do what I do on this project is the people who use it. Trust me the skills I have could be worth a lot if I accepted a job offer if it came my way. From the start I have been totally dedicate to the success of this project, and will continue to be dedicated until my last breath. I have no doubt that CakePHP will continue on its path as the best PHP framework. So be patient and things will come. If you feel like something is taking too long, step up. There are many things that can be done outside of the code development. If you are not able to contribute by helping with documentation or patches to bugs on the Trac site, ask how else you might be able to contribute, I am sure someone will reply in a positive way. So there is my 2 cents, for what it is worth to anyone reading. And get this thread back on topic again... -- /** * @author Larry E.
