Greetings Thijs, Contributing begins with patches, which eventually turns into SVN access. In other words, you should check out the php sources, fix things, then submit fixes as patches. Once people realize that you're a sane person who truly does want to contribute, then you'll gain commit access. It sounds like you're wanting to start with documentation (lucky us!) so check out the documentation, get a feel, then work your magic. The following will be a good start: - http://wiki.php.net/doc/howto Also, if you're into testing newish things that may or may not work, then try out: - http://svn.php.net/viewvc/phpdoc/doc-base/trunk/scripts/create-phpdoc-setup.php?view=co Please feel free to ask questions, and talk to you soon! :) Regards, Philip
