The document discusses ways for developers to get involved in the PHP community by volunteering their time and skills. It outlines several official PHP projects, forums, mailing lists, and IRC channels for developers to participate in. It also encourages blogging about PHP topics and joining sub-communities to help others, learn, build professional networks, and gain exposure and opportunities.

Editor's Notes

  • #2: There is a great big world out there just waiting for you to join
  • #3: Anyone that codes with PHP (professional or amateur, full time, part-time, hobbyist, expert and beginner ), uses or writes PHP software (Joomla, Drupel, phpMyAdmin, etc - actually can be considered sub-communities.), answers questions on the mailing lists or forums, attends user group meetings, teaches others to use PHP (office, univ, etc).
