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.
