Hello everyone,
my name is Martynas, and I am thinking about participating in GSOC 2010. I have to say that I am happy to see PMA in the accepted projects list.
I was looking through the proposed ideas list for PMA and charts idea really caught my interest. Charts in the server status page would be nice to have. I have quickly glanced through the code in server_status.php. It seems that there are just a few statistical values available from DB server that are worth putting to the charts. Most of the values in the server status page are approximated.
I have also came up with another idea about charts. What would you think of plotting a result of more or less any SQL query? There have been lots of situations when I tracked some "development" in my database and seeing a graph/chart instead of a result table would have been much nicer.
I will also try to look through the bug tracker/feature request list to see if there is something I could get my hands on quickly.
I have noticed that you are using git as versioning system. Is there any PMA developer using Windows? I am using msysgit and was wondering if there are any alternatives.
Looking forward for you comments.
Martynas
