Hii All...
Congratulations to all community members for being selected for GSOC yet
again. Well I should introduce myself. My name is Aman Gautam. I am doing
engineering from Delhi, India currently in pre-final year. I have been using
phpMyAdmin since my first year. I have knowledge of php and the MVC
architecture together with OOP in PHP. I have contributed to Joomla and I
live in a world of open source. I would like to participate in GSOC as a
student. I found the phpMyadmin OOP
project(http://wiki.phpmyadmin.net/pma/GSoC_2011_Ideas_List#phpMyAdmin_OOP)
very interesting.
I have been through the source code of phpMyAdmin. I found it all
structural. Easy to configure but harder to extend. I have been using it for
about 2 years now. I would like to contribute to it too. I will be obliged
if someone can guide me for the same further.
Regards
Aman Gautam
Hi Aman,
Thanks for your introduction and welcome to the mailing list.
As you have familiarized yourself with the code of phpMyAdmin, you
should have an idea what part of PMA you could transform to OOP. We
expect you to make a proposal. Just keep in mind that you should be
able to create the class(es), implement it in the current PMA code,
test and document it in the available time frame (12 weeks of 40
working hours).
Good luck with GSoC and submitting your proposal.
Kind regards,
Dieter
