Hi Yeah, this topic ended up with people discussing the quality of Cake docs/manual instead of discussion WHAT I could add to improve the situation for new Bakers....
The ~3 first posts had relevance for the original topic, and then it went completely off track :( I'm sitting here now, with the feeling that I don't have a clue what people felt about the API app I'm making, but a clear feeling that most people aren't very happy about the current situation... And without sounding like a saint or angel, I'm beginning to feel some of the frustration the core team problem has when reading the group and looking at one post after another with the endless discussion on how many things there need improvement in the API/DOC/Manual, and yet so little action behind those words. I felt like doing this app for Cake because I wanted to contribute to the project - I'm far from some godlike baker, actually, phpnut would probably slap me around if he saw the code, but I don't care.. I'm just putting action behind my words when I told gwoo I felt like API lacked some features.... So please, feedback on the TOPIC, not about how bad/lacking the current is... /Jippi Ps. Yes, my English suck, and yes, I'm a little pissed off right :P -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dr. Tarique Sani Sent: 22. januar 2007 10:40 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Unoffical API / Beta RFC [new] On 1/22/07, RichardAtHome <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I'd love to contribute to CakePHP as I believe its the best thing to > happen to PHP in all the time I've been programming with it (since > PHP3). Nice to know that - I wont go as far as saying CakePHP is the best thing or bother with I am older than you in this ;) > I was trying to illustrate that perhaps, if the documentation was > available then the learning process would be faster and I would be in a > better position to help others.

Again a common fallacy on public forums - I am too new/know too less to help - You teach best what you want to learn the most. > And your are right, this is one of the most friendly, a knowledgeable > lists I've subscribed to and I'm keen to take a more active roll.

The IBM tutorials just provided that bit - and thank god they did not do another blog Cheers Tarique P.S.
