Hello Sam,

Contributing begins with patches, which soon turns into SVN access. In other 
words, you should check out the PHP documentation source files, fix things, 
then submit a patch or three. Once people realize that you're a sane person who 
wants to contribute, then you'll gain SVN commit access.

And this howto is a good place to start:

  http://wiki.php.net/doc/howto

As an example starting point, the following script checks out the doc sources 
and setups a local doc environment:

  $ wget 
http://svn.php.net/repository/phpdoc/doc-base/trunk/scripts/create-phpdoc-setup.php
  $ php create-phpdoc-setup.php -l en -b ~/phpdocs
  $ cd ~/phpdocs/doc-en
  $ vim en/stuff.xml
  $ php doc-base/configure.php

Please ask questions here or in IRC (#php.doc on efnet), and talk to you soon! 
:)

Regards,
Philip
