Year one of baking CakePHP
Today is the one year anniversary of my first commit to CakePHP, amazing how time flies. It seems not too long ago that gwoo and nate approached me to join the core team and help with writing the tests for 1.2. What started with test cases soon bloomed into full blown commit access and had me working on all parts of the core. Year one also saw the creation of DebugKit which is nearing its 1.1 release, as well as a rewrite of api.cakephp.org. So it was a pretty busy year. For those who love stats, here are some from the last year:
- 1,059 commits, 670 commits to CakePHP, 228 to DebugKit, and 159 to ApiGenerator.
- 170 tickets on trac.cakephp.org closed or assigned to/by me.
Not a bad start, but hopefully I can improve on that record. I would like to thank the rest of the core team for bringing me on and making CakePHP as great as it is. I would also like to thank the community for supporting CakePHP, and reading my ramblings.
Good work indeed, keep it up!

Wow, time really does fly by in a hurry.
I still remember the first time a new name poped-up on the trac timeline and I was quite curious.
I’ll have to say: Good work mate, please keep it up!!
Cheers,
Gus

Congratulations Mark, keep up the good work. I can’t even tell you what a contribution you’ve made to the team.

I have to say Mark that you are probably the biggest mistake Gwoo and Nate ever made.
You are, BY FAR, the worst coder I have ever seen. Your skills can only be comparable to a 5 year old, on prozac, with one eye, and no hands.
What do you expect? I thought I should be original ;)
Kidding aside, you kick ass man. Really. You are not only a great coder, but a great human being. Being Canadian, that’s a whole accomplishment ;)
