Add a "See Also" section to the API function pages
For example, on the belongsTo() reference page, it would be nice to have "See Also: hasMany(), hasOne()".
That info is available with a few clicks, but it would be nice to have the links on each page.
Thanks for the great docs!

Thanks for requesting this. We actually have the data structure to do this, but I haven’t gotten the API importer to do it yet. Will definitely raise the priority on this.

Projects section
A place in the Community section for people to submit projects. This section would list open source projects like Spash CMS, commercial projects like Reservoir CMS, and other projects like MARC and FuseGrid SDK.

Add section to clarify var scoping in Wheels
I don't think the issue of var scoping is touched upon enough using Wheels. My understanding is that there is no need to var scope anything at the Controller level. But any custom functions or UDFs in the model must be var scoped. While it's common to use the "this" scope of UDFs in the model, it's not clarified why the var scope isn't used.

More info. on custom queries, etc.
I'd like to see some more information on creating and accessing custom queries and other things that may not be "best practice" in the cfwheels world, yet necessary in some cases or helpful to newbies that are easing their way in.

More exposure for reloadPassword() setting
The reloadPassword() needs to be set on public sites, and the docs about that setting seem to be getting skimmed over by new developers.
I'd vote moving/making a page specifically for this setting and/or putting a message in the debug output next to the reload links when the reloadPassword isn't set, but something needs to be done to make it more prominent and less likely to get skimmed over.

Make Feedback button less confusing
Right now, clicking the Feedback button on the website gives you issues posted to this UserVoice forum. Some people are thinking that this is a place to submit ideas for the framework itself.
What I propose is that the box that pops up after clicking Feedback shows links to the Google Code issue tracker, the UserVoice forum, and the Google Group. That way you can more easily distinguish between the 3 options.

Add a repository like coldbox where there are full-scale demo applications that can be downloaded and tweaked. Open source frameworks need open source apps!!
