Hi Stu,

It would be great to also here from you in #cakephp-docs regarding
what and where you found information lacking.

Alternatively you can, as can any user, add directly to the docs or
even kick off another sample application here (check first with
_psychic_!): http://book.cakephp.org/view/218/Example-Applications .
Having the info in the cookbook allows for the contents to be both
maintained and translated - which vastly increases the community
benefit of published info.

The book relies on contributions from users; this means you too
Stu :).
