I do find it interesting to compare Cake responses with, say, the JQuery group- where someone titles their post "it's not working" and still get loads of polite and helpful responses!
I think that although the cook book is defnitely filling the gap in the documentation, the long period where Cake documentation was lacking is the root of the current situation, as it put a lot of stress on the developers to contribute to this group.This group was for a long time the most useful resource for Cake info. Learning Cake, especially 1.2, was not easy for a long time, and once you've had to learn everything the hard way, you're less inclined to help people who want a free ride! I think that once the cook book becomes more of a known "one stop shop" for cake info (especially with some more tutorials as opposed to just manual style content) then people wil be less likely to post dumb questions, and when they do, people will be a lot more inclined to give friendly, useful answers! Plug: I wrote a similar blog post to the one above about the best ways to reply to these kinds of posts (http://www.acumendevelopment.net/ archives/44). --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CakePHP" group.
