Juha: Thanks, your pretty much pointed out all resources I'm aware of or would recommend as well ; ).

Benjamin: I definitely recommend you to stop by in IRC when you hit problems. Easy questions are usually answered in less then 5 minutes and for more advanced stuff it depends on who is in the room and how good your communication skills are (sometimes people have problems but can't articulate the exact nature of them, making it difficult to help). The other really good resource to get questions answered and learn what other people are doing is the mailing list, when working with CakePHP you should definitely subscribe to it. Oh and before I forget, on the cakephp.org <http://www.cakephp.org> front page there is a headline that says "Read". If you go through the list you'll find some other pretty nice blogs talking about CakePHP (Cakebaker, Ad7six, Rosoft, Snook to name a few). I'm glad you decided to become a baker and I wish you best luck in the kitchen ; ).

Felix,
I noticed on another thread that you work with cakePHP, I am trying
to get my head around it, but not quite there.  Can you recommend any
good forums and tutorials (not digging the bakery.cakephp.org too
much) to help me on my way.

I'm using CakePHP daily, and here are a few places that have helped me on my development:

To get started (and hyped), I would first check out the screencasts:
http://cakephp.org/screencasts

Then there is the 15 minute Blog tutorial:
http://manual.cakephp.org/appendix/blog_tutorial

The manual is actually pretty good and i'd recommend you read through it without a hurry:
http://manual.cakephp.org/

Where the manual leaves you wondering, or you want the absolutely most up-to-date stuff, there is of course the API:
http://api.cakephp.org/

I'd also recommend you take another look at the Bakery. It seems most of the stuff in there is not for CakePHP newbies, more for intermediates and up, but the quality of the stuff is actually pretty good:
http://bakery.cakephp.org/

Then there is the CakePHP wiki, but it is being phased out, and might contain outdated stuff. The new stuff is moving to the bakery.
http://wiki.cakephp.org/

ThinkingPHP is a great reasource for more advanced stuff
http://www.thinkingphp.org/

And for more chitchat, help and discussions I'd point you to the Google Groups CakePHP-discussion:
http://groups-beta.google.com/group/cake-php
and the #cakephp irc-channel at irc.freenode.org, which you can also access through the web with a java-applet at: http://irc.cakephp.org/irc.html (for some reason seems to be down at the moment).

Hope that helps even a bit.

I'll gladly answer any questions, but we should keep them off this list.
