Announcing the guide to Doctrine migrations

After some hard work during the last days I am happy to announce a project I will work on for the next weeks. It is the new guide to Doctrine migrations which will try to give you an introduction of how to use Doctrine's migrations in your symfony 1.3 and 1.4 projects.

This idea has been in my head for some weeks and now that I have the chance to write this guide in my free time I will do my best to finish it at the end of this year. This means that the guide is not completed yet. I will add chapters, restucture or maybe delete useless things. So this guide is now a working draft but as I said before I plan to finish it this year. To achieve this goal it would be great to get some feedback from you about the chapters I will publish. You can do this by posting comments to my blog (I will blog about the major changes of the guide) or by sending me an email.

Why yet another symfony advent calendar?

Ok, this might seem obvious. The symfony team started a new advent calendar and now I announce a documentation I will work on for the next few weeks. While it might look like this it is not true. I planned writing some documentation a while a ago and was hit by the symfony advent calendar (and I love it!). I thought about moving the project to next year but decided against it because I came to the following conclusion.

This community thing is not a game of competition.

It's as easy as this sentence. I want to give something back in some form of documentation. The fact that the symfony team announced another documentation is no barrier to write your own one and publish it to the community. I don't want to compete to their work as well as they don't want to mine. But what both the symfony team and I want is that you can read more documentation so you get the chance to use the features of symfony as good and as heavy as possible.

Having this said I hope you like the idea of my project and can hopefully gain some profit out of it.
