So CakePHP is supposed to provide marketing materials for people to
convince their bosses to let them use it?  I know we're getting close
to flame-war territory, but I feel that the problem is not with
CakePHP but with the developer themselves.  If you can't convince your
bosses that CakePHP is worth using, well, who's fault is that really?
No amount of "sales pitch" info is going to convince people if you
can't communicate.

I worked for a number of years for a company that was very resistant
to change.  Every decision seemingly needed to be run through a
committee, sometimes multiple times.  In the end, the easiest way to
get your idea accepted was to just build a sample using whatever it is
you were trying to promote to show them that you knew what the hell
you were talking about.

This is the strategy that AD7six is proposing.  Doug, just build
something with Cake to show your bosses that it is a tool worth using.
