Thank you for taking the time to start contributing to the PHP project. Before your VCS account can be approved, we'll need some patches from you to verify your continuous contribution. Since you are interested in documentation, you can start by logging into the PHP Documentation Online Editor[1] and submit patches. If you are uncertain on what to work on, then taking your time to browse and resolve documentation related bugs[2], is a good start. The PHP Documentation is written in DocBookXML and we have our our rendering tool called PhD[3] you can use to generate local builds. Unlike the most of the PHP project, the documentation is located in SVN[4]. You can find a complete guide for setting up a local testing environment here[5].
