Welcome to the Cookbook

There are a small number of people who actually develop CakePHP. In between documenting, planning, answering questions, developing features for new releases and sometimes pretending that they have lives outside of CakePHP, bugs tend to be last on a very long to-do list for them. To catch the eye of one of these few volunteers, you'll need to take to heart a few tips on how to report a bug so that they can and will help you.

Please note the word volunteer :). The people who are going to help you with a bug are volunteers. Not only are you not paying them to help you, but nobody else is either. So, be nice to them.

Beyond that golden rule, what follows are some additional tips on ways to make your bug report better so that someone will be able to help you.
