Hi Piyush,<br>

Your SF.net E-mail address doesn't seem to work (yet), so I send my<br>

you are subscribed to it.<br>

<br>
Just to be clear, the scope of the GSoC project is not to convert<br>
phpMyAdmin completely into OOP. Doing so would mean almost a complete<br>
rewrite of the current codebase, and at this moment the team has no<br>
plans in doing so. The GSoC OOP project is about turning a small part<br>
of phpMyAdmin into OOP, f.e. turning a somewhat standalone module into<br>
OOP, or turning a commonly used 'object' into a class, and refactor<br>
the code of phpMyAdmin into using that class.<br>
Take also into account that the proposal you make should be feasible<br>
in the set time frame of GSoC, ie. 12 weeks of approx. 40 working<br>
hours. This includes, creating the class, implementing it in the<br>
phpMyAdmin code (at least, your branch of it), refactoring, testing<br>
and documenting.<br>
<br></blockquote><div>Hmm, Thanks. I was under the impression that we'll be doing a complete rewrite of the code base. Now I feel more confident that I'll be able to do it :)<br> <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">

At this moment, phpMyAdmin 3.3 (and upcoming 3.4) should work on 5.2<br>
or higher, so you cannot use things that are only present in 5.3 or<br>
higher.<br>
You might want to take a look at this article about design patterns :<br>

Good, it is a requirement to fix some bugs before the end of the<br>
application period, so that we can see how you work and if you<br>
understand the phpmyadmin codebase.<br>

Go ahead, post a message on the tracker you will be taking this bug<br>
on, and submit your solution on the patch tracker (as is described in<br>
FAQ 7.3 : <a href="http://www.phpmyadmin.net/documentation/Documentation.html#faq7_3" target="_blank">http://www.phpmyadmin.net/documentation/Documentation.html#faq7_3</a>)<br>

Good luck with GSoC and with submitting your application.<br>
