Many are excited about this fact, because as we all know, the current manual isn’t that good. But as one of the bakers said, it’s about time to do something about it instead of finding excuses why this is the case.

Currently, developments on the new documentation for the framework is being worked out and the main catch is it’s wiki-like approach where everyone, who has a Bakery account, that is, can add in a suggestion, comment or even edit a section. Each post is subject for approval, though, by the bakers behind the CookBook, for moderation maybe.

Although for others, a good documentation doesn’t matter, but for a beginner, it’s a great big deal to have a very informative manual which will help them to become more familiar with a certain application. A manual with a good and well understood introduction and background is a very welcoming way for beginners to try new applications, that will give them less hassle instead of a more complicated experience on using them.
