Hi All,
When I was looking at the 'Idea List' for GSoC 2011, I came across two project ideas that interest me. I would like to know more about these ideas, so I would be able to focus on one specific project idea.
The first project idea I'm interested in is 'OpenGIS support' [1]http://wiki.phpmyadmin.net/pma/GSoC_2011_Ideas_List#OpenGIS_support. As a first step I went through the MySQL documentation on 'Spacial Extension' [2]http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/spatial-extensions.html. I would like to know a rough outline of the features that is expected to be implemented under OpenGIS support.
The second project idea that caught my interest is 'phpMyAdmin_OOP' [3]http://wiki.phpmyadmin.net/pma/GSoC_2011_Ideas_List#phpMyAdmin_OOP. Undoubtedly, when implemented this would help the life of developers much easy. I would like to know the expected scope of this project. Further I would appreciate if you could direct me to any articles or documentation I should read with regard to this.
