These are great ideas flying around. I really do think that a simple but complete application would be really useful for new bakers - all things considered the manual + bakery + this group are a pretty damn good resource - BUT it can be hard pulling things together and integrating. Ideally it would be something useful (and actually a simple CMS is always useful) but that practically demonstrates how to tie it all together AND that also demonstrates best practice.
I guess you would might want: * Users / Groups / Permissions (managed from within the app) * File manager for upload images / files * Page editor * Menu manager / navigation controller Now you can turn up your noses and say - just another CMS - but almost all the stuff I build at work needs these features, sometimes you add a shopping cart, sometimes a forum, sometimes a contacts DB etc... I also like the plugin / module idea - but if you made the demo thing above using them it might be too complex / abstracted for somebody trying to learn... i don't know. At the end of the day though, I think we all know that the best way to learn is just to start building and deal with problems one by one. (p.s. I'm currently building 2 apps - its not always easy, but it is worth it - I just wish I'd stumbled onto cake a year ago...)
