I have it. It's barely passable as documentation. It's what I was referring to when I said very little documentation was available. Every time I have a technical question, I have to post it to one of the Farcry lists, and nine times out of ten, IF it gets answered, it's answered by Geoff or one of 2-3 of the truly technical people there. > it is incredibly poorly written and buggy > >> I have found it to be well written and stable. Here's why I call it buggy... first, it lets you do things you shouldn't be able to do -- e.g. delete the entire site tree in the Admin area. If you do this, then attempt to view the site, it throws an error. There are a lot of places where errors get thrown after the user does something they shouldn't do. All of this should be trapped, and a lot of the stuff it's letting you do shouldn't be allowed. >> Indeed it is, and there is a learning curve, but it is very powerful, thus > with power comes a learning curve. I think the learning curve is very steep, and it's made worse by a lack of real documentation. Granted the thing IS free, and I'll admit it's pretty powerful. But at this point, the shortcomings are outweighing it's strengths.
