Let me rephrase that. This is my first contribution to php or any open
source project for that matter, and I have no idea what the process is.
Do I need to write the code first and submit a patch to someone? Do I
need to work with someone since I assume don't have CVS write access? Is
the process in the comments or documented somewhere and I am going to
get flamed for not reading them? ;)
Thanks,
Jess

I would suggest you create a patch and post it to the mailing list. If
it's accepted, someone will commit it for you.
Regardless of what you do, I can't predict whether you will or will
not get flamed. :)

There's a README.SUBMITTING-PATCH file in the PHP source that gives a
fair amount detail on the preferred way to contribute to the project.
It boils down to submitting a patch (unified diff) against HEAD of CVS
to the internals list and CC'ing it to the appropriate extension
maintainer(s) (there is an EXTENSIONS file that should be more or less
up to date with who is looking after what).
Welcome :)

You can lower the changes by supplying a unified diff :)
