+          <td width="100%">So there you sit.  A PHP coder who loves PHP.  But lately
+		  you find yourself wanting to help the PHP community by contributing.  Only
+		  one problem - you aren't a uber 1337 coder - whether it is because you have
+		  only recently started to learn how to program in PHP or you just don't yet
+		  have the experience with advanced concepts.  But you really want to help out
+		  and you are unsure though how to go about doing it.  You have looked at the
+		  various 'normal' ways of helping out with PHP but nothing seems to fit.  Your
+		  C coding isn't the best (if you even know how) so helping with the core or
+		  PECL is out, nothing in PEAR really 'calls' to you, and you don't know anything
+		  about the PHP docs and the software it uses.  So where does that leave you.
+		  Have no fear there is still a way you can help with PHP - you can help the
+ PHP Quality Assurance team.<br />
