Hi...
I would like to learn PHP, too. I think a PHP Learning Group would be great.
As Ever,

I'd be willing to learn PHP too; it has just seemed very daunting to take on by myself. A small group that can work together to learn the ropes (and not take up too much of the developers' precious time with repeating the same answers for a dozen different individual students) would be a great thing.
BTW, I ran across an article about analyzing the development of large-scale PHP projects, which might help for something like MediaWiki that's been developed in so many small pieces. A Development Infrastructure for PHP (by Tony Marston) is here: http://www.tonymarston.net/php-mysql/infrastructure.html It's a little over my head, I've only been skimming it to get some ideas on what I'm getting into, but it looks like it *might* be of use to our heroic development team.
Anyway, count me in.

Okay,
To everyone else who said they would like to learn PHP to help in developing mediawiki, - i put a message on the dev mailing list asking for any knowledgeble PHPer who would be willing to be our guide. If i get any replies (which hopefully i will) ill post a copy here. Also, there is a wikibook course on PHP, however i dont know what quality it is since i dont know PHP and cant judge (its an eternal loop isnt it?) also wikiversity might be worth checking out.
