Howdy subscribers !
I would like to participate google summer of code and I am looking for something interesting to fit in. I think about phpMyAdmin feature. However the idea is not listed, so I would like to discuss it here.
I would like to know is the idea below reasonable or is it rather material for new independent project.
In few words: self-generating admin panel for casual user.
Well, phpMyAdmin is dedicated for super-users. It's obvious and I hope it 'll never change. But imagine a mode of phpMyAdmin that is dedicated to end-users that are just websites owners but no coders.
What I mean ? Let's say I am a website programmer. I am creating simple website php + MySQL etc. I am writing code for client that is not familiar with any code. My goals are: 1. create DB structure 2. create website 3. create admin panel
1 & 2 are interesting while 3 is not. But wait a minute. Why should I create admin panel ? Maybe phpMyAdmin is enough ? Indeed. But it's too complicated for simple human being. It's also static. It bases just on databes.
I think phpMyAdmin + some heuristic knowledge about DB = pretty and usefull panel for site-admins that are just managing contents
Gate to this simplified feature may be just phpMyAdmin user/password. Let's say after sign in programmer will see phpMyAdmin as-it-is today, while site admin (not programmer) will see clear and simple admin-panel.
How about ?
