You can send messages to the list without subscribing, but if you don't want to miss the discussion, it would be better to subscribe. We have a maybe not so up to date TODO about the php.net redesign here: https://wiki.php.net/web/redesign/howtohelp You can check out the source for php.net from http://svn.php.net/repository/web/php/trunk/ Unfortunately I think we don't have a README for setting up a local php.net, maybe somebody can help you with that. You should get yourself familiar with the codebase, it's a little bit "oldschool", and do some smaller task from the list, if you think that it is ready, send a mail with the attached patch. Usually after a couple of patches, one can get svn access to the codebase. -- Ferenc Kovács @Tyr43l - http://tyrael.hu
