Nate, as one of the dev leader, you should temper your language, I find it harsh....
I don't see exactly where is the problem with that wiki. In fact, I've made a wiki myself to help me think throught some process that weren't correctly described here and there when the book was still just a thought. I wish I could write something in the book, but I don't feel my experience with Cake is anoff to write something tagged "official", and probably many others out there. Writing into a wiki or "the book" are two different tasks. One is ludic, the effort for parcipating into the redaction can be seemless and the other has an inbound "professionnal objective", it is "the" book. Wikis have became sandbox over the time and are excellent tools at it. While the book is meant to be [someday] a finished documentation, the implication needed to add something to it is 10 time superior to a wiki. It's the same as a learning curve, wikis are now on the bottom left of the "learning to write on the web" and that kind of book is on the top right. Even experienced programmer need to get confidence before writing somewhere else then into the DocBlocks. Indeed, I like the idea of having a "practicing" wiki where the documentation is built on a more collaborative way (transparacy, revision/correction, etc. ok, someday, the book shall be too, but mediawiki is mature on these right now) then maybe propose that material to the official doc portal. Hey, the guy even called it "unauthorized" and putted a link to the official doc, I can't see any bad intention there! To get back to the main title... Maybe you should be more specific about the different types of documentation distribution possible (don't know if there is some licence for that, no specialist here), something for online distribution, printed distrib (free or $), etc. Distribution of the book with other APIs/docs to a team can happen more frequently while cake gets used by more and more professionnal. A case by case analysis isn't really effective in these situation (what is effectiveness you'd ask ).
