RE: Cast your vote for CakePHP!
You are grumpy today. Polls are probably the best way of telling what the general sense in the developer community is. Naturally it depends on the poll, its audience, and how easy it is to hack it, but anyway, you get the idea... Still, you are grumpy. -MI --- Remember, smart coders answer ten questions for every question they ask. So be smart, be cool, and share your knowledge.

Who are we actually serving by endlessly voting in polls about what PHP framework is the best? If someone chooses CakePHP because it is the most popular choice on some poll on a web site, well, I have to be honest when I say I doubt their abilities to make any sort of decision. It has nothing to do with frameworks and everything to do with community. Sure, the code itself rocks - but these polls are a fun way to see how awesome the community response is. If you don't want to participate, that's fine. I don't think it's a license to rain on the parade, though. I chose CakePHP because it reflected a lot of what went into Ruby on Rails. Yep. I continue to choose CakePHP because of the awesome people associate with everyday. To me, the active community is a big part of the CakePHP Advantage®. -- John --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Cake PHP group.

After all, you could just as easily say all those people voting for CakePHP are fanboys so you should take the results with a grain of salt. This has nothing to do with results, and everything about having a good time and joking around. Sometimes we do things for fun, not results. Besides, the metric I'm using is from a community perspective, not from an outsider's view. I don't really care if polls bring new users (though its a nice side effect) - but a poll being rocked every month or so is a nice way to keep a pulse on who's active and how much they like us. I stick by my statement about people's decision making skills, though. I'm a battle-scarred veteran of other people's poorly-thought-out decisions, often made based on how high on google the home page was ranked. Well I don't think we're garnering support for vaporware here. SEOmoz doesn't seem to think so, anyway. Again, this isn't about bringing people in. The CakePHP community is a good one, and I'm starting to think that the real problem is a lack of organized, relevant documentation. Before we move forward, I'd like to look back. First, I need to get a handle on the specifics that allow you to make that conclusion (on another thread, preferably). Once we fix what we've got, we'll worry about new ideas. -- John --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Cake PHP group.
