I am Hasitha Abeykoon who is a final year Computer science and Engineering undergraduate from University of Moratuwa, Sri Lanka.
Examining the ideas list of phpMyAdmin for GSOC 2011 on [1], I found two projects which took my sincere interest. I would like to know more information about the projects and the expected improvements with some technical details so that I can read up and choose one project to follow up.
1. The first project is “Support for Stored Procedures”. I suppose manipulating stored procedures in a nice way means improving the user Interface for the phpMyAdmin users so that they can type stored procedures, view and edit them more easily? As a first step into the project I looked into the “phpMyAdmin improve” page [2] and learnt how to use GIT and get the source code.
2. The second project I like is “User Interface Cleanup”. I have many ideas and thoughts even now which I would be pleased to see in phpMyAdmin interface.
For a project on information management of annual functions at CSE we used phpMyAdmin tool, which I felt very admirable.
Please direct me on the technologies and any documents that I need to refer in order to learn more about GUI Designing and binding between the Interface and core of phpMyAdmin.
• I’m familiar with PHP, MySQL and JAVA. • I have experiences about GUI designing by my internship at Virtusa Cooperation, Sri Lanka [3].
Think it would be nice to work with you. Thank you in advance.
