(RSS) Feed them Cake

If your application includes any sort of internal messaging or notifications, RSS is for you. For forums and blogs, feeds have become a functional requirement. Integrating RSS feeds in your application helps users keep tabs on how things are coming along, with out having to check into the site constantly. This tutorial will help you set up a basic RSS feed by helping you craft a controller action, and its associated view (and layout).

@Tim

We're working on it. Those'll come as other high-priority things get done (we're currently working on making translations easier).

@Rob

Yes please. :) It's not just a copy/paste job, though. The auto-generated markup at tempdocs isn't clean enough for the Book. It takes a marginal amount of re-marking up, but it's not bad.

I've already done about half of it, so we're already off to a good start.

Alexander, come find me in IRC (#cakephp at freenode) so we can talk about the German translation. We've already got Portuguese, Spanish and Dutch in the works, so we'd really appreciate German.

Alexander,

There will be a language switch. In fact, we've already got Spanish and Portuguese translations being input.

I've already done half of the conversion - the reason I launched the application is because I can use the help. Please jump in and help!

This app is a replacement of the manual. The Bakery is an ad hoc collection of tips and techniques, case studies, etc.

The Cookbook will house the manual, and it's translations. The manual is a structured document, where people can suggest changes and edits.
