I'm still just learning the ropes here so I don't have much to offer, but I do have to say that some of the terse responses here are very disappointing. That they come from some of the very people who one should expect to offer the most thoughtful and cogent sales pitch for Cake is terrible. Telling Doug to get out of Dodge is ridiculous. Do you want this framework to be accepted by more people? Or do you pine for the good old days, when Cake was something only a very small group of developers worked on? I'm guessing not, and that you'd like it to continue gaining in popularity. Don't get me wrong: this is not a flame. From what I've seen so far, CakePHP is an excellently produced framework and I intend to move more of my existing projects to it, let alone future ones. However, I'm lucky in that I left the corporate scene awhile ago and answer to nobody but my clients. Were I still lead developer at my old company, I'd be looking for the same answers Doug is. Do yourselves a favour and give him and other devs the ammunition they need to overcome the corporate inertia that they face. Like it or not, CakePHP needs a bit of a sales pitch that management can understand. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.
