Hello, I am Nisarg Jhaveri, a computer science student from India. I am interested in participating in GSoC 2014 with phpMyAdmin.
I have proficient knowledge of PHP, JavaScript, jQuery, CSS/CSS3, HTML/HTML5 and basic knowledge of MySQL. I have gone through the phpMyAdmin code-base and by now I am comfortable with the existing code.
I would like to work on Structure tools project as suggested in Ideas List ( http://wiki.phpmyadmin.net/pma/GSoC_2014_Ideas_List#Structure_tools ). 1. Central list of columns - This may be a very useful feature for phpMyAdmin. Benefits are listed at ideas page. - Maintain a central list of all existing columns in all tables per database. - Suggest columns from the list while creating new table or adding column to existing table. - Alert when someone try to create column with similar name but different specification ( like datatype ). - I am not sure about the user interface.
2. Database Normalization - I don't know much about normalization, but it seems useful and interesting. I am not clear about what I will do for this.
Please suggest me more ideas on the project.
Also, I would like if someone could please suggest me some bug/feature to work on now.
Thanks, Nisarg Jhaveri
