Um, isn't that what you're suggesting by creating yet another CMS? ;) Maybe I just don't understand how an application *built* with CakePHP will inspire people to create their own applications with CakePHP. Won't people concentrate on extending this killer app instead of creating their own? I hate to say it again, but we're aiming at developers, not at end users. You're making a big leap in assuming that a cool application written in CakePHP will lead people to build CakePHP applications. Look at it this way: 37Signals, the company that the creator of Rails works for, uses WordPress to run their blog, not some solution written in Ruby on Rails. On a related note, I'd love to see evidence that WordPress having been written in PHP has encouraged more developers to build things using PHP... I know it looks like I'm picking on you, but I'm not, really. I just think that the goal should be to get developers to use CakePHP. We just have a severe difference of opinion on the best way to accomplish that. My own contribution to CakePHP is going to be an interactive console to complement testing. Is that a killer app? I dunno, but hopefully lots of people will benefit from it. -- Chris Hartjes My motto for 2007: "Just build it, damnit!" rallyhat.com - digital photo scavenger hunt @TheBallpark - http://www.littlehart.net/attheballpark @TheKeyboard - http://www.littlehart.net/atthekeyboard --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.
