Guys, the Cookbook is a *collaborative* editing tool, and I really can't stress the "collaborative" part enough. We created it because we're just a few guys, and Cake is a really big framework, and with the pace of development around here, keeping everything in sync is a really really hard problem. > But i'm not an expert in Cake and fear to do something wrong.

Seriously, new developers are the *absolute best* documentation reviewers, because you can point out things the rest of us take for granted. After finding the right answers from experts (either via this mailing list, IRC, a blog, or whatever), you can submit that information so that other new developers who come after you don't have to go searching like you did. Thalund, If you could have saved yourself the trouble finding out about the different find types, would you have? Think of the next guy! In fact, I have a standing offer for one community member already, that I'd gladly extend to you as well, which is this: any time you are stumped or confused on a CakePHP issue, and can't find an answer in the Cookbook, you can IM me directly, *any time*, and I'll explain it to you in detail, *if* you are willing to take those answers and contribute them back to the Cookbook after I've explained them (you can email me to let me know what network(s) you're on and get my IM info). CakePHP is an Open Source project, and Open Source projects live or die on the strength of their communities. Not everyone can contribute code, but *everyone* can contribute to documentation -- and there's just no excuse not to. If this project has benefitted you in some way, I'd encourage you to get involved. You might even be surprised to find that you enjoy it. ;-) --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CakePHP" group.
