Hello Thomas, read all README.* files and the CODING_STANDARDS (php is very picky). For an introduction to writing extensions look here: http://talks.somabo.de There is also an artivel series from Sara Golemon somewhere on the Zend site and she also published a neat book on the topic. However PHP 5.2 is already released so you'd need to hope for 5.3 or develop for HEAD directly - generally we only accept new features for HEAD and eventually backport them. Besides that any help is always welcome!
