Would like to help - don't know where to start

[langdon]

Hi

I would like to offer to contribute to the documentation of Cake 1.2

I have been putting off working with 1.2 for various reasons, so don't
know much about it yet. However I expect that I can help at least
with proof reading, tidying up etc initially. It is also a good
excuse for me to start learning about 1.2

Any suggestions on what I could start on?

I don't have a lot of time to contribute at the moment, but hope that
I can add some value anyway.

Regards,
Langdon

Langdon,

Check out our wiki on Cakeforge:

http://cakeforge.org/plugins/wiki/index.php?id=53&type=g

Pick a section you can work on and let me know.

Looking at the list in the Wiki I am at a bit of a loss. If I had to
pick something it would be "Data Sanitization" as the notes mentions
that it is "same as current".

I don't know what needs doing, but it sounds like it is probably the
sort of job I am up to at the moment (in terms of knowledge and
time :-)

Great - what we need there is just someone to take the existing
content here:

http://manual.cakephp.org/chapter/sanitize

And rework it for

1. Accuracy
2. Typos, wordiness, and general readability

Just polish it a bit for 1.2 and send it my way. I'll check back with
you in a week or so.

Many thanks,

John

Hi John

Sorry I missed you on IRC. Took a break to make breakfast.

No worries, I will work through it and see how I go. How should I
deliver the finished result to you?

Whatever is easiest for you. Plain text, email, Open-office-
friendly.... whatever. :)

Thanks John, plain text is probably my preference. I will see how I
go.
