How Can You Help?

Share your knowledge

Helping others and sharing quality PHP content in our Facebook group is respectful and awesome contribution to the PHP community.

Contribute to open source projects

Contributing to open source projects is awesome, altruistic and is changing this world. It can and should be first of all fun but it requires also lots of technical skills, patience, ability to work with others, constant adaptations and many commitments as well.

Our repositories are located on GitHub and contributing is as simple as possible. Just fork the project and send us pull request or open an issue.

OctocatGo to GitHub, fork the wanted project and send us pull request.

  • PHP Resources

    The php-resources repository contains all the content from the FAQ and the articles.

    You can help us improve the frequently asked questions, articles and best practices if there are missing information that should be pointed out or fix typos. The opened issues contain list of things to fix and improve.

    GitHub provides also built in editor on GitHub so editing content should be quite simple. You will get used to it in no time. Otherwise below is also a more general forking and committing changes procedure with Git and GitHub which gives you more control over your changes.

  • Stats

    The stats application for generating weekly group stats report is written in PHP.

  • Facebook Bot

    The facebook-bot is an experimental bot written in PHP for managing Facebook groups.

Contributing procedure

Before contributing to any open source project on GitHub get yourself familiar with Git version control system usage and how to use GitHub.

  • Fork wanted project from GitHub

  • Setup your local environment:

    git clone git@github.com:your_username/php-resources.git

  • Set up your repository and set a remote branch for future updates:

    git remote add upstream git://github.com/wwphp-fb/php-resources.git
git config branch.master.remote upstream

    That way you can update your repository (when the upstream gets updated) and automatically pull upstream commits:

    git pull

  • Verify that you have all the latest commits available

    git log --oneline -3

    Cross-check the topmost commit log with the one in main repository and make sure everything is in sync.

  • Create a new Git branch for instance patch-1:

    This ensures that your repository will not need rebasing when the upstream gets updated.

    git checkout -b patch-1

  • Commit and push to your GitHub repository

    git add .
git commit -m "my new changes"
git push origin

  • Send a pull request

Pinned topics

Every week or two we have special topics to gain more exposure or more thorough discussions about topics that are either important for the PHP community or the group in general. These topics are pinned on top of the group for few days. You can send your suggestions by opening a ticket at GitHub or getting in touch with the us.

Join the core team

Team members are carefully selected by the current administration staff. Get in touch with us for further discussion. If we decide to recruit more team members we will talk to our nominees, maybe one day to you.

Administrators
