Ever wondered how the PHP.net project actually works and what it has to offer?
|
|
Who is in charge and how decisions are made? The PHP.net project has a lot of
|
|
things in the works and is always looking for new talent to join the project,
|
|
share new ideas, discuss improvements, fix broken features, look after the
|
|
websites, documentation, and so on....

<h2>Contributing to PHP</h2>
|
|
|
|
<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>Development of the PHP source</h3>
|
|
|
|
<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.
