</div>Maybe you noticed that nobody offered to mentor this one so its fate if<br>
more uncertain. In general, I think it's up to you to propose the<br>
features that would make sense in a GUI like phpMyAdmin.<br>

</div>The expected scope is not to rewrite all of phpMyAdmin in OOP. You'll<br>
have to pick some part of the source code that needs refactoring then<br>
OOPing; a part big enough to make sense in a 12 weeks x 40 hours<br>
project. Sorry but the exact scope of this has to be determined by the<br>
student and we'll evaluate if this makes sense.<br>
<br>
I found that this book has interesting views about this process:<br>

<br></blockquote><div> </div><div>Hi Marc,</div><div><br></div><div>I will analyse the code base to identify the areas that can be OOPed and where the design patterns can be applied. Additionally I will have a look at the code segments that have already been OOPed to get a better understanding. Hopefully I will be able to chose the scope such that it is neither too big nor too small.</div>
