[Phpmyadmin-devel] Let's break master?
by Michal Čihař 06 Mar '12

06 Mar '12

Hi all, I think we can agree on register globals being evil. So let's do radical breakage in master and remove ./libraries/grab_globals.lib.php. I know lot of things will get broken, but this is something what needs to be done for 4.0 and I think it should be done ASAP to prevent any new code using this. So I don't give you question whether to do this, but rather when to do this with possible rationale for the choice: - right now - anyway people should be using QA_3_5 so master breakage should not matter - after releasing 3.5 - developers can focus on master after releasing 3.5 - after releasing 3.5.1 - final release 3.5 will most likely bring lot of bug reports, which will need to be fixed in 3.5.1 -- Michal Čihař | http://cihar.com | http://blog.cihar.com

[Phpmyadmin-devel] My first contribution to phpMyAdmin and GSoC process
by Onur Avsar 05 Mar '12

05 Mar '12

Hi all, I just made my first contribution ( https://github.com/avsaro/phpmyadmin/commit/ab5f96e7c5bf4f5420c65b209230c5b…) to phpMyAdmin and I add this requested feature ( http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=3484063&group_id=2…) which I found on Tasks for junior developers wiki page. It is actually quite little contribution but it is my first contribution, so if I made a mistake please warn me. I am also not sure about whether it is worth to send a pull request or not? I previously talked with Michal and Dieter about my interest to join GSoC 2012 with one of the phpMyAdmin OOP projects which are mentored by Dieter. Moreover I want to contribute more and become a part of phpMyAdmin community in long term not just become a GSoC participant. Therefore I want to ask that should I start to work on one of these projects or wait to until GSoC start and continue to make junior jobs?

Hi Marc, Thanks for your quick reply. I went through the feature requests for that project idea. I felt features like rfe*2998185* very helpful for even my personal work. It make me more interest on this title. As a beginner for phpmyadmin, I would like to know what are the relevant source files for refactoring process of the 'Displaying query results'. As well before entering this title, it's very helpful for me, if you can mention similar and easy bugs in open bug list. Regards !

So can you give me a basic task like small bug fixing or something like that to familiar with PMA code base. -- Regards.
