Thanks for contacting me =) I was thinking about starting to help in the development of some functionalities of PHP. I've used PHP for the past 5 years and never got involved, but I think it's time I do something about it. I must add I'm a college student (Computer Science and Engineering) and have a very good knowledge of PHP, Java and a fair experience with Python, JavaScript, C and C++, but I don't feel quiet ready to work on PHP. Still, I wanted to get an inside look of how the work is done to prepare myself to cooperate. I also really wanted to meet the community, since I feel much better working with people I know or at least have talked to. I was also thinking about the possibility of adding some things to the documentation (specifically, I thought about adding algorithm orders to the functions, which I think is important for serious development). I use PHP on a daily base, so I would also gain a lot from that =)

If you want to work on the documentation its best if you email the mailinglist of the documentation team ( phpdoc@lists.php.net). They can help you get started. The account you requested is only for getting write access to the wiki and we usually only give that out if someone already has a concret plan (like writing an RFC to add a specific functionality). Getting to know the PHP development team was my #1 career builder, so I can really recommend following through with your plan! regards, Lukas Kahwe Smith mls@pooteeweet.org
