Why is it that every time someone comments of the insufficient documentation you Cake veterans jump in and say something along the lines so make it better? Well, guess what, there is a catch - anyone who actually NEEDS the documentation is not in a position (yet) to contribute to it. And anyone

If you want to help just give specific feedback, open a trac ticket against documentation http://trac.cakephp.org/ between the http://manual.cakephp.org/ the api stuff http://api.cakephp.org/ and the bakery http://bakery.cakephp.org/ I think it is actually pretty good. For a good 80% of the

Nate John: First let me emphasize that this way or another, it is fine by me. I don't expect anything from anyone, I don't demand anyone to help me, I don't require that the documentation be by any standards and I am not complaining about it, it is better than not having any of this at all.

From my perspective even someone who has just visited the documenation can help make it better. Sure, they still have to decide that they want to, but that does not mean they cannot contribute. Imagine someone new coming to the community and rather than saying wow, the documenation is no good

Really? I thought the whole idea behind CakePHP was to considerably increase our stress level ;) No, that is a by-product of trying to make something more complex than it is and not spending enough time thinking about the proper solution before diving into code. ;)

I must be losing it. I'm a veteran php web developer and a friend said cakephp was awesome so I've checked it out and gone through a couple screencasts. Am I crazy, or is the Blog Tutorial screencast wrong? More specifically, the Edit functionality does NOT edit a post. It merely Adds one.
