This is my own personal take, but I don't think CakePHP is in the same category as Wordpress, Drupal, etc. There is a significant difference between a CMS and an Application Framework. CakePHP isn't a content mangement system, though it's pretty easy to create one using it. We're not aiming for end users, we're aiming for developers. > And I think if we are to persuade people to develop for CakePHP there > should be something there other than a few basic tutorials to show > them what its capible off. I agree, but if people come to CakePHP expecting a plug and play website, I don't really think that's what we're after. > If you bake it, they will come! ...to *your* website. Sure, if word gets out that some hot app was built with CakePHP it'll make us more popular and accepted, but mostly in development circles. I think CakePHP should shine for you more than it does for us. If it truly does that, people will come wanting the goodness anyway. </opinion type="personal"> -- John --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.
