I'm not saying the developers aren't capable of providing documentation. Docs for 1.1 are probably the nicest I've seen (although since the group convinced me to try 1.2, I've become very frustrated with 1.2's lack of docs). my comment wasn't intended to put down anyone, my thinking is to keep trademark and legalities separated from open-source documentation.
think about it like this: if I were to develop an application using CakePHP, and redistribute the application + cake along with documentation, there would apparently be a legal issue, as the Manual is considered the intellectual property of the Cake Foundation, correct? so if there were a truly unencumbered documentation repository, this situation could be avoided. additionally, if cake documentation were to ever fall into "disrepair", a new initiative could be started for the documentation without infringing on someone's intellectual property i'm not saying that developers should be excluded by any means, so please don't be offended by my remarks On 6/19/07, Chris Hartjes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > On 6/19/07, Jonathan Langevin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I agree a central location would be best, but to also avoid any legal > > issues, is why I suggested a 3rd party GPL effort > > > > So you seem to think that the CakePHP developers themselves > (disclaimer: I am one of them) aren't capable of providing > documentation?
