Whole features are seemingly broken on it and in other places white fonts over white backgrounds make text invisible. It would be nice to have download statistics at least. Right now its just a broken image. just my $.02 For those of us that are building cakeforge projects, how do we get someone to fix cakeforge?

I know that from my own experience, some projects survive and others die after some days. I think there shouldn't be a barrier, but as Tarique mentioned, some way to mark projects as inactive and in the end to remove such projects. @Tarique: That's a good idea, but I don't know if it is possible with the current software used for CakeForge. But I think sooner or later this software will get replaced. @Walker: I think such projects are created due to a spontaneous idea, And then after some time they realize that they don’t have the time to realize it, or the idea is not great, whatever.

This will save a lot of people heartaches caused by trying to run outdated projects on newer releases of CakePHP I think any project which has not seen any activity in 3 months should be labeled as *Inactive* automatically.

I would think that if the people who started them worked on another project already going (e.g. another CMS with a release already) that they would have contributed more to the community, even if they walk away from that one as quickly as they did their own. In my line of thinking, their needs to be some sort of barrier to entry introduced into the system. Low-level enough, psychologically, so that people do not find it annoying but yet it makes those who will not continue a project (or start a DOA) question their project. It could be something as simple as a question on the registration page that is there just to make one think. I wonder how those project can be weeded out before they are even started?
