Hi Wil,
Nice initiative! I do have one question regarding the Default Project
Structure that needs to be covered in the Quick Start.
Your proposal has received a lot of comments since you've moved it to
Ready for Review. However, none of the suggestions from the comments
seem to have been incorporated in the proposal yet.
Are you planning on updating the proposal in time for the contest?

Howdy all, we've gotten a lot of feedback since the 1.0 release, some
good and some 'suggesting improvements'. Most of this feedback has
revolved around the first hour of the Zend Framework experience- a
period of time that has becoming more and more critical as other
frameworks have set expectations for a time-to-hello-world measured in
minutes, if not seconds. While we don't feel that this is necessarily
the use case that will make or break your next mission-critical
project,
there is no reason why we can give our users a great first hour to
lead
in to that life-long love affair with all things ZF. So we've
responded
with a few initiatives, including development of tooling and an
education-focused project that you'll all be hearing more about soon.
But one of the simplest and most effective projects we have yet to
fully
deliver on, until now.
Without further ado, it's my pleasure to announce our new, official ZF
*QuickStart Contest*! We're looking to put together the most useful,
interesting, and up-to-date QuickStart possible, and *we need your
help
to do it*. Please see the QuickStart Contest wiki page for more
details:
http://framework.zend.com/wiki/display/ZFDEV/QuickStart+Contest. And
yes, there are even prizes! That you may actually want! :)
And if you can't find the time to take part in this contest but you
simply must find a way to give back to the ZF project (while winning
some choice schwag), never fear. We plan to hold more contests as we
find new and exciting ways to give our contributors more stuff to
do. :D
Please let me know if you have any questions or suggestions for
improving the contest or the final QuickStart. BTW, the deadline is
3/9,
so stop reading this and get to work!
,Wil
