# Joining the team
|
|
Joining the PHP Documentation team is a simple process, but a process nonetheless.
|
|
It can be summarized as:
|
|
|
|
## Write to a mailing list
|
|
Because official communication is done there, you should write to the proper list.
|
|
Say "Hi" and what you're interested in doing. You may feel more comfortable lurking
|
|
for a while, or reading the archives, or hanging out in IRC (#php.doc on Efnet)
|
|
for a while, but ultimately let the list know who you are.
|
|
|
|
### For authors
|
|
You should send your message to the `phpdoc@lists.php.net` mailing list.
|
|
|
|
### For translators
|
|
You should send your message to the appropriate `doc-{LANG}@lists.php.net` mailing list.
|
|
|
|
## Create a doc patch or three
|
|
This step is required to show us that you are a real human, you want to do
|
|
some work and in general know how to do this.
|
|
|
|
The simplest way to get started is by using the [Online Documentation Editor][editor].
|
|
which allows you to login via your Facebook/Twitter/Google account and edit the documentation.
|
|
Your patches will be then reviewed and accepted by someone with SVN access.
|
|
|
|
Our wiki contains an [overview of the editor and how to use it][editor-tutorial].
|
|
|
|
## Obtaining SVN access
|
|
If you plan to contribute to the manual regularly, and want to do this more efficiently,
|
|
you probably would like to use SVN directly. This requires a PHP.net account.
|
|
|
|
To request one, please fill in [this form][request-account].
|
|
|
|
Provide links to your work that has already been committed and/or list your current patches.
|
|
Basically, tell us what you have done, to prove that you really need this account.
|
|
|
|
The next chapter will explain how to get the manual sources and how are they [structured](structure.php).
