I am not old on cake (but in dev yes), but this a framework for developers in my opinion. Now if someone wants to make a killer app with it, no problem. But I do not think that the base Framework should be linked in anyway with an application built on it. I mean here that the framework should push people to develop using it, but certainly not having a killer app influencing the base framework. This is might be the trap for futur cake release => to serve a killer app, forgetting the initial goal.
Again, I am not against a killer app, everyone developing on cake thinks he is making a killer app :-) Franck On Mar 28, 9:39 pm, "Chris Hartjes" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On 3/28/07, digital spaghetti <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > > Another point I forgot to make is I see a lot of people re-inventing > > the wheel.
