Re: New CakePHP Application Launches

2007-07-05 Thread oms

Hi guys,

Thanks very much for all the feedback.  Keep it coming!

Yes, one of the issues is the reliance on JS - it definitely makes it
difficult for the site to be usable on older browsers or with disabled
JS.  We made that compromise for now, but something to examine - we'll
look at it for sure.  Feedback buttons should be working, but perhaps
not with JS - we'll be adding the email as well - [EMAIL PROTECTED]
As for the geo-tagging, stay posted - some features in development
there.  :)

Right now what we need most are articles - so if you live anyplace
even remotely exotic (Wisconsin is nice this time of year :)), pls
post!

Thanks,
Omar

Thanks!

It really needs some content right now, so would be great if bakers
from all over would contribute some articles!  :)

New CakePHP Application Launches

Hi all,

We've just launched www.trippert.com - a travel community site built
using cakePHP.  Please help us out by checking it out, giving us
feedback, and writing a few articles about your travels (or where you
live!).  :)

Thanks,

Project

2007-01-15 Thread oms


Hi all,

We're developing a user-generated content site focused on travel
using cakePHP with heavy Javascript/Ajax. We're looking for
contributors with cakePHP, Ajax, and HTML/CSS experience to help us get
it out the door. It should be a four-week project that could lead to a
full-time position/more work as the project continues.  Please contact
me directly if you might be interested.

Thanks,
Omar
