I don't see it as off topic. If you want a wide audience to read and
benefit from your efforts, the book is the place for your
documentation/tutorials/info efforts, complemented by the bakery for
more 'personal' examples/case studies. The contents (slowly, and in
some cases not so slow-nuto!-ly) get translated and so the benefit is
an order of magnitude+ that of other means of documentation. Having so
many eyes looking at the docs also means their quality is generally
high and improves on a daily basis (incidentally some languages need
some attention: http://book.cakephp.org/stats).
I'm very receptive to tuning how the book works to maximise the
benefit and ease of contributing to the book - therefore please ticket
and/or check out the source on thechaw and experiment/patch if you can
think of a way to improve it. There are a few things already planned,
such as delegating moderation for certain sections/languages.
Any "new" cake site should try not to overlap with core projects, as
that would only create conflicts or serve to dilute the pool of info
by spreading it thinner. If the current solution doesn't cut it - I'd
encourage you to seek to improve the core project before starting
something new.
Cheers,

PS dr. Hannibal Lecter If you check the "My Submissions" link when you
login you should (when the book is next updated, as it was only
recently corrected) see both your submissions and the subsequent
responses so you can easily see what happens/happened to your
submissions (however the howtos was submitted on 06/27/2008 so it may
have been processed before the change log was fully implemented).
There's the language/site wide changes rss too of course, which
contains all recent activity.
