The blank comment email notifications are annoying, until I redirected them to my gmail account. Gmail pulls them in just find. just FYI. If I used any other email client, Evolution/Outlook/etc.. they would all be blank.
The Bakery has its uses, and I like the idea behind it; a single place for developers of CakePHP to blog/share code/etc.. I also like that its reviewed by CakePHP developers to adhere to and keep a level of consistency/correctness. That's a noble and very ambitious goal. The biggest issue I see facing the bakery is the lack of moderators. The time it takes a to go through the submittion->feedback->publish process on an article is extremely long. The last article I submitted took almost 2 months to finally publish. That, coupled with the fact once the article is approved, and published, if you need to make an edit it has to go through the entire review process again. What you end up with is a ton of code rot, because once its published its easier to just leave it be and comment on updates. The Bakery needs to have a faster turn-around. After an article is published, an edit should not revoke its published state, rather put it in the bin to re-review, and if the edit is outrageous *then* take it down after the review. I find most edits are simple code upkeep, spelling/grammar errors, extra explanation, etc... It'd be nice after having gone through that long review process that if an author wanted to add an extra sentence or two, update a link or any other minor upkeep the article would stay published with a (pending review) status. It may be as simple as getting more moderators, I have and do offer my services to help code review/feedback/etc.. IMHO turn-around needs to be better or just don't have code review. -Nick On Apr 3, 3:13 pm, jacmoe <[email protected]> wrote: > I noticed that the Bakery is slowly being overrun by spam messages > which haven't been cleaned up in a long, long time. > I wrote a small article there, and haven't received any feedback on > it. > > Anyone tending it? > > Otherwise: Let's get rid of it. > Or turn off the comments feature. > > And, by the way: > The Bakery sends out completely blank notification emails - > useless! :D > > I'll probably file a bug later, at Cake Lighthouse, but I thought I'd > just throw it out here first. > > It's not especially good PR for the CakePHP project IMO.
