General idea #15

I have this suggestion: as your project is a kind of tutorial, it should contain more ready-to-use solutions. Each solution might be described in a separate blog entry - including instructions to remove it completely from the project.

By following Stack Overflow questions I concluded that many beginners have really basic problems as they have not seen a particular solution IN ACTION, that is used to meet a real-life necessity. Also advanced users don't have time to follow ALL current docs and employ new functions.

This is why I'd recommend to add ready-to-use solutions as task-oriented. For instance: "how to add social login". When I was total noob just 6 months ago, the task was totally beyond me. Now the 5.0 docs are much cleared and describe a practically native solution. But still there is a lot of space to make things much easier for beginners.

That is why I strongly recommend to put comments in the app files (controllers, models), to guide some not really oriented through sequence of steps of a given solution.

I am only an amateur programmer (forced by necessity). As my knowledge of PHP is superficial and full of blank spots, I might be a good test animal for the task of creating such a tutorial.

You have good ideas. But I don't have much time right now for this project as I must update a big French tutorial for L5 version.
