Thanks for detailed report ;-).
- I'll upload the template/datafiles for the posters and cards for anybody else that wants them - you'll need Adobe Illustrator CS2 and InDesign CS2 to edit them, so I'll put up PDFs as well.
Any chance to get something not that closed? For example SVG?
They were glad to see us there, and noted a few general things: Their customers sometimes hit a blank page and have a hard time tracing it down - mainly due to us turnings errors off. They would like errors turned back on, to help them trace things. The IE/Gzip bug is not involved, as many of them turn off gzip to avoid it. It might be nice to detect Internet explorer and disable obzip when we have $cfg['OBGzip'] = 'auto';
- Similar to the previous item, I had a few users bring their laptops, with reproduced bugs to show me - mainly configuration errors compounded by the new system (old config files reused), and user error. Turning on error display would help us a lot.
- There was one very interesting real bug - the user had a replicated database. Using 'DROP TABLE' on the master via the commandline, replicated fine. Doing the same on the master via PMA didn't replicate.
Could you please file requests you remember to bugs/feature tracker?
- Spoke to Monty in the afternoon, and picked his brain about the oldest GUI, he also believes it was PMA, but he said he'd check the collected archives of MySQL email to be sure. He also mentioned something lacking in PMA, and other apps in general at the moment - lack of a good form builder tool for web interfaces, that is capable of hooking up the form to the database directly - there's too much manual work involved still.
Well I actually never understood what people expect from such feature. We have it quite long in feature tracker [1].
