<p>
Anybody who programs in PHP can be a contributing member of the community
that develops and deploys it; the task of deploying PHP, documentation and
associated websites is a never ending one. With every release, or release
candidate comes a wave of work, which takes a lot of organization and
co-ordination.
</p>
<p>
With the introduction of release managers comes a smoother release process,
but help is still needed: testing release candidates, finding and squashing
bugs in tests, documentation, and sources.

<h3 class="content-title" id="ways-to-contribute">Four Best Ways to Contribute</h3>
<ol class="content-box listed">
<li>Running test suites in <a href="/pre-release-builds.php">RC</a>
and <a href="https://php.net/releases">release</a> distributions of PHP</li>
<li>Help finding and diagnosing failed tests, see
the <a href="https://qa.php.net/write-test.php">phpt documentation</a></li>
<li>Filing and resolving bug reports
on <a href="https://github.com/php/php-src/issues/">GitHub Issues</a>.</li>
<li>Help maintain and or translate documentation files
at the doc-* repositories on <a href="https://github.com/php/?q=doc">github</a>. Check out our

<h3 class="content-header" id="php-src">Development of the PHP source</h3>
<div class="content-box">
<p>
Someone hoping to become involved in the maintenance and development of
the source should be experienced in all of the areas mentioned above, as
this creates a strong team; everyone knows how every other part of the
project works.
</p>
<p>
You will also need experience in C programming as PHP is written entirely in C.
