Re: Cake Sites Stats

@ Mark - Thanks. I'm just interested to know how many downloads
convert into real world applications.

As for the actual figures, it might be appropriate to list the
#downloads on the cakephp.org landing page, as well as the size of the
Google community. These are numbers that sell.

I skipped the 'names' as the title implies that they are recently
created components, but even then the vocabulary is only obvious to an
indoctrinated cake user. Can I suggest that, from a marketing
perspective, it might be better to change that title from 'Just baked
- They are using cakePHP' to something more in your face like, 'Who
uses CakePHP? Recent projects'. Then it will be more meaningful to
dumb middle-management jobsworths looking to see what this cake thing
is.

_You_ may feel dwarfed by projects of such magnitude, but clients and
managers like to know they're in good company.

What made you think I was worried?
