We have a set of "rules"/guidelines for the mailing list that you can find here: https://github.com/php/php-src/blob/master/docs/mailinglist-rules.md In regards to new features/discussion I recommend reading the excellent article from Christopher Jones from Oracle about the RFC process: https://blogs.oracle.com/opal/the-mysterious-php-rfc-process-and-how-you-can-change-the-web For documentation about the PHP source code a good start are the following "books": - phpinternalsbook.com/ - https://www.zend.com/resources/writing-php-extensions - https://phpinternals.net/ And a helpful tool is LXR to navigate the code base/find things which is currently located at: https://heap.space/ Hope this helps, Best regards George P.
