I'm interested in helping in anyway possible with the development of PHP.
Although I think my skills in C might be a bit lacking at the present time,
I'd still like to help. Why not have a QA team? If this means having
multiple people on various platforms try the RC and try to break it then
give feedback, I would be game. I'm sure there are plenty of other people
willing to help as well.
