Some documentation on this exists in the manual:
http://php.net/internals2
Not sure how much but we might try to revive the internals-doc-writing
efforts...

Would help if the Bug Tracker was extended to mark (hopefully) low
hanging fruits for starters....

so lot's of information *is* available but very unstructured and
distributed over many places.
So a start might be to collect the links to one place with some guiding
comments...

That recently drove me nuts, I just wanted to locate the current VCS
repository one of their projects was using for creating a simple patch,
which I had ready against an older release but there was too much
"irrelevant" information hiding the things was looking for. No I'm not
looking for a Gtk tutorial, not for a mentor, not for love (well, maybe
I do, but not related to gnome), ...
But that's actually the tough part: Don't become too verbose while
providing tons of information while again be motivational to beginners,
too.
