Tarique, I'm definitely not 'copying out' ;-) I'd love to contribute to CakePHP as I believe its the best thing to happen to PHP in all the time I've been programming with it (since PHP3). I was trying to illustrate that perhaps, if the documentation was available then the learning process

Ok I am going to throw my 2 cents into this conversation and put a stop to it. The code is what is important, the documentation is being worked on by volunteers, as is the rest of the project. The only person who works full time on this code is me. Nate works on the code, but he also has a job

Well Mariano I don't blame you for writing that. I tried not to sound like a whiner, but evidently I didn't succeed, and I regret that. As for contributing some documentation, as I pointed out in the earlier message, I do not think I am a good person to write about Cake because I don't properly

Hi Ralph, contributing is the way to go ;) but if you can't contribute - make a ticket - not with the exact documentation but with what you would like to find in the manual ... its a good way of informing people from the docs team what is missing ... btw. come to #cakephp people will always

Ralph, This is why I pointed out maybe you are not like that at all. I wasn't making a judgement about the way you behave, I was just pointing out that it's so simple to contribute, you don't need to be a Cake expert to do so. Just small things you found on the way are good enough. Like your SQL

Kudos for ralph who elequently illustrated my *only *problem with CakePHP. Cake is a top bit of coding. Seems to do so much of what I want, but the practical documentation is lacking. Code examples are crutial. Even generic ones. Specific ones are even better. No-one comes to Cake without a

Certainly the PHP manual is an excellent example to copy. But the PHP manual is full of much more detailed explanations... I should say that it HAS some explanations. If your discuss feature could lead into some true augmentation of the documentation, that would really be wonderful. But I don't
