I think it should start with a "How do I get started" with a guided set of links
1. Intro - http://manual.cakephp.org/chapter/intro 2. Basic Concepts http://manual.cakephp.org/chapter/basic_concepts 3. Installing - http://manual.cakephp.org/chapter/installing 3a. link to some trouble shooting faq questions or a page on troubleshooting your installation (like un-ziper doesn't do empty folders, ftp client doesn't do invisible files, php5 doesn't install db drivers be default, Overwrite All not enabled on machine 3b. perhaps links to some instructions on getting started with some of the LAMP/ MAMP/ WAMP packages 4. Building a 'Hello world app" - http://manual.cakephp.org/appendix/blog_tutorial 5. where to go from here: links to api, manual, cakegroup, cakeforge, etc... 5a. how to ask a 'good question' - <http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html> 5b. how to I report a bug information about trac/ that you need to sign up, how to report a bug, <https://trac.cakephp.org/wiki/bugreport> perhaps even how to make a good patch file. some info: <http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html>, <http://inessential.com/?comments=1&postid=2727>, I am sure there are others 5c. CakePHP conventions <http://manual.cakephp.org/appendix/conventions> 5d. The Bakery! <http://bakery.cakephp.org> though I think the search on this could be improved. 5e. Cake Search - <http://cakephp.org/search> I think this default page could be improved to give an idea of what resources are searched. That is my idea of a getting started FAQ The Old Grumpy Fart -- (the old fart) the advice is free, the lack of crankiness will cost you - its a fine line between a real question and an idiot http://blog.samdevore.com/archives/2007/03/05/when-open-source-bugs-me/ --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.
