I am Chirayu Chiripal (aka D-storm) a final year computer science engineering student from India. I am interested to take part in GSOC 2014 and work for phpMyAdmin.

I read http://wiki.phpmyadmin.net/pma/GSoC_2014_Applicant_Guide and saw that you only accept people who have already made some contribution to phpMyAdmin.

What I have done so far?

I have forked the Github Repo of phpMyAdmin and started looking into the code to get the understanding of how it works and I am also trying to implement some of the features requested on sourceforge.net.

I would like to know, what should I do to improve my chances to get selected for GSOC 2014 and do some quality contribution to phpMyAdmin?

Is there any IRC channel for phpMyAdmin where I can discuss issues?

My Skills: PHP, MySQL, JQuery, AJAX, Javascript, CSS, HTML

Frontend Frameworks I am familiar with : JQuery UI, Bootstrap

Thanks,

Chirayu Chiripal
