Hi,
currently, some features of phpmyadmin.net based on retrieving RSS feeds
from other sourceforge.net sites do not work. From the sourceforge.net
site docs, I read that this kind of access should not be blocked. I'll
open a support ticket with them tomorrow if the condition persists.

Dear members of the PHPMyAdmin project,
we kindly ask for your participation in our survey on security assurance in
free/open source software.
Security assurances are confidence building activities through structured
design processes, documentation, and testing.
By participating in our survey you contribute to ongoing research with the
aim to make free/open source software more secure.
It will not take more than 10 minutes of your valuable time for our 21
questions.
Our survey is online for the next two weeks until July 1 at:
http://survey.mi.fu-berlin.de/public/survey.php?name=fosssecurity
The survey is anonymous.
Please find the results of the survey on the project page during July:
https://www.inf.fu-berlin.de/w/SE/FOSSSecuritySurvey
For further information about Open Source research at the Research Group
Software Engineering at
Freie Universitaet Berlin, please visit:
https://www.inf.fu-berlin.de/w/SE/FOSSHome
Thank you in anticipation,
Sascha Rasmussen, Alexander Kunze, and Andre Haralevich
In case you participate in more than one FOSS project, please fill out the
questionnaire for the one where security is most important, or fill out one
questionnaire per project.
Thank you!
