+## Writing documentation
+
+There are two ways to contribute to the PHP manual. You can edit the manual and
+send patches anonymously via [the online editor](https://edit.php.net/), or you
+can check the XML source out from Subversion and edit that and build it
+[per the instructions on the documentation site](http://doc.php.net/tutorial/).
+Patches created that way should be sent to the
+[documentation mailing list](mailto:phpdoc@lists.php.net).
