I am planning to apply for phpmyadmin for gsoc 2015 for the idea parser analyzer rewrite. I understand the basics of phpmyadmin code and am looking to fix bugs and add minor features to phpmyadmin. I have been using phpmyadmin since a few years now, and hence I eagerly look forward to applying for pma. What I would like to know is: do I need to know everything about sqlparser to apply for this project and be considered or some basic understanding of the code will do?
