Hi nijel,<div><br></div><div>I have been working on the proposal for quite some time now. And I strongly feel that we also need to add implement an application specific API for the phpmyadmin.</div><div>Basic functionality should be available in the form of functions for the developers to built upon.Given the time constraint in GSoC I feel that we should built the base framework for the API. Also as the existing functionality like import/export will be converted to object-oriented. So common functionality can be added to the API side by side.</div>

<div>The API will attract more developers to create plugins to extend phpmyadmin which is one of the major objectives of the  project. Please leave your comments and suggestions.</div><div><span style="font-size:17px;line-height:19px"><br>
