Subject: Low hanging fruit / entry point for new developers to the core
From: mace@darksilence.net (Miah Gregory)

Hi there,

The recent suhosin 'discussions' and subsequent browsing of various
mailing lists prompted me into looking at doing some core
development/bug fixing/whatever, since I have a vested interest as a
user.

I had a look around the various php.net sites but didn't really find
much in the way of guidelines to get involved, code wise, or suggestions
as to low hanging fruit that wouldn't be too painful to start on. If
someone could point me in the right direction it would be much
appreciated.

Would also be of use to know what automated (or otherwise) testing
procedures are available for pre-commit checking?
