I love learning new frameworks and part of that is asking questions in forums. It seems that the yii forum doesn’t have a high level of activity. There are a number of 0 response posts. This is alarming for someone trying to use an open source project. The adoption of an os project relies on community involvement, even if that means answering a bunch of newbie questions. Someday that newbie will be an advanced user and will preach the benefits of the tool they learned to use. These are probably bad words, but the codeIgniter and cakePHP forums are much more active and even if the question is simple someone replies. Maybe that is because they are older projects with a larger user base at this time.
