The FuelPHP development team is always looking for new team members, who are willing to help lift the framework to the next level, and have the commitment to not only produce awesome code, but also great documentation, and support to our users. You can not apply for membership. Start by sending in pull-requests, work on outstanding feature requests or bugs, and become active in the #fuelphp IRC channel. If your skills are up to scratch, we will notice you, and will ask you to become a team member. FuelPHP takes a different approach to many frameworks and strives to be community-driven. We've only been going for a little over three years now and already had more than 300 developers commit to the source code or contibuted in the form of pull requests, and even more help us with documentation. In general we believe that anyone using the framework is in an equal position to spot bugs, fix them and send pull requests for bugs and new features alike. There is no "us vs them" to this community, just a group of developers sharing a tool and collaboratively improving it as we use it more and more. Lightweight, load what you need and configuration over convention. No automagic here!
