 This concept is not a new idea in the world of open source as most internal developers and community members are aware or have been exposed to Google Summer of Code before. Python also has created the Python Core Mentorship Program which has the exact same intent as this program: Close the bridge between PHP communities and their language. This concept is not a new idea in the world of open source as most internal developers and community members are aware or have been exposed to Google Summer of Code before.

 +===== Mentorship =====
 +As obvious as it may seem, for such program to work, we require both mentors and mentees. This section of the document explains the *roles* associated to each.

 Before investigating further, we need to identify who would be willing to be a mentor for this program. Many "mentees" have already raised and showed their interests however only a few internal developers have shown any type of interest.  Before investigating further, we need to identify who would be willing to be a mentor for this program.

 +==== Mentees ====
 +Many communities from the PHP world have their own vibrant communities and rarely interact with the developers of the actual language they are using. The goal of this project is to initially gather at least 1 person from every project to be interested in the internals of the PHP language. If you are not part of a project but still interested in learning and contributing to the core of PHP, no problem, jump in.
 +
 +By being more involved and writing patches both you/your project and PHP can benefit greatly. It helps improving the language which helps improving your code. The core of PHP is written in C, so minimal C understanding is a must. If you do not know C but would like to, please see the **References** section below to get started with C.
