Over at the wikien list a small flame war between PHP and perl, resulted in a bunch of people all saying that they would love to contribute to mediawiki development, however do not have the technical know-how to do so. And thus was born the idea of a group PHP tutorial with the aim of bringing people who dont know PHP up to a level where they can do menial coding, simple bug fixes etc. for mediawiki, freeing up time that the more skilled developers could use on something else, and hopefully (after the internship of doing easy stuff) become full blooded developers. So what they are looking for is someone who has a good knowledge of PHP to act as thier guide. <uncle sam voice> IS THAT PERSON YOU!?!?!?!?! </uncle sam voice>
