Many of the features seem to be getting addressed. I was using the manual last night and the speed was much improved. I agree that some of the content should be rearranged but I think it's more important at this stage just to get everything documented. There's so much new stuff going into 1.2 that it's hard to keep up. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CakePHP" group.

My e- > mail address is publicly shown with all my posts. So is mine. What's your point exactly? I have no desire to continue this exchange in private emails because it does not serve my purposes. The purpose of my email is to tell people FILE TICKETS IF YOU WANT TO SEE THINGS CHANGE. I repeat my request to be shown proof that when filing tickets to do with the manual you have been told to not file a ticket but to discuss it on the mailing list instead. I also repeat my statement that if this was the case I will be glad to say I was wrong and credit you for being correct. People can say what they want about me, but I do tend to stick with what I say in my e-mails. If I am wrong, I'll do a blog post apology where many people can see it. Seriously, when did his happen because that is not current ticket-responding policy as far as I am aware. -- Chris Hartjes Internet Loudmouth Motto for 2008: "Moving from herding elephants to handling snakes..." @TheKeyBoard: http://www.littlehart.net/atthekeyboard --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CakePHP" group.

Re: Recommendations for changes to Cake manual.
I agree with Chris' suggestion on creating tickets, but let me quickly respond here as well to see what others think...

We want to make the search better, but this was an easy way to get a lot of functionality fast. I think we won't entertain enhancing it unless someone can help us out with creating the changes. I also think if you're just searching for "model," you're not going to get great search results anyway. This can be mitigated by smarter querying (ala "model associations", "model behaviors", or "supermodels"). > 2) The manual mixes tutorial sections and reference sections. It's a > little confusing.

I guess I need a community response here - we've organized it as best we can, but this is the first time this has been brought up. If I get the feeling the current outline isn't' worried, we'll change it. Thoughts, folks? > 3) "Developing with CakePHP" is really documentation for the API.

The line between helping people use the API, and see the big picture tasks is really fuzzy. We don't really have any good answers here, but let me at least say that first, I don't see the advantage in splitting it up. Also, tutorials are housed in the Bakery, the manual houses a few fundamentals that are almost universally requested for (a starter tute, and an auth tute). > 4) Allow short cuts to access reference material quickly; Nothing > worse then having to browse all the subcategories of the manual to > find where you've put the documentation for "models".

That is, unless you want to read about body enhancements, online pharmacies, and/or adult websites inside the manual. There *is* an approval process, but we want the threshold a little higher than rock bottom. > 7) Change the Table Of Contents to use AJAX so that our browsers don't > refresh every time we browse the tree.

I'm also toying with the idea of offering a nice printed version of the manual as a desk reference, possibly with some extra chapters from core team guys or other wildly popular celebrities.

I doubt that, and would be happy to take it back if you show some proof. All work on the project flows through either the ticket system or at the initiative of the core developers (disclaimer: I am a core developer who has been slacking off in the initiative department as of late). If people want to rant and rave in the mailing list, all the power to you. But don't lie about the reasons for not filing tickets please.
