Does a roadmap for phpMyAdmin exist or has anyone feature plans for phpMyAdmin 3.0?
I don't know of an "official" MasterPlan. But mine would be (sorted by priority):
There is IMO none such plan...
Hi all, This is currently no plan. Here are a few ideas about the roadmap; please do not think I am being negative here...
- we currently have a low manpower. Any plan will have to take this into account, even though I agree that the release of 3.0 can attract some other developers
- we have a very big features requests list; some day we will have to deal with it
- bug fixing takes a lot of time (but I agree that a part of this could be avoided with some structural changes in the code)
- we discussed some plans for version 3.0 more that a year ago, I refer you to those discussions
- I would concentrate now for the release of 2.6.0.
- Get sessions to work, to get around POST/GETing the SQL query or the resultset
data from page to page. This is the reason for many timeout/browser problems when editing records
This is definitely needed for long time and we should finally focus on this.
I agree.
- Have DB-stored configuration with user-management, where a PMA user can tweak
his own settings regarding colors, maxrows, sql query window et al
This would be nice, but not much needed...
I think this is needed a lot. On multi-user installations, lots of parameters are fixed in the config file, but the decision should be in the hands of users. I even find myself in need to change something in the middle of my work session!
- Have a nice installer
I'd give this higher priority than db stored configuration.
I agree for higher priority, partly because it's an easier job to do ;)
- Support transactions and other MySQL 5 features
This should have higher pririty as phpMyAdmin 3.0 will come probably in time MySQL 5 will be ready...
I did not study this enough to have an opinion. I always wondered how to deal with transactions, give the stateless nature of HTTP.
- After that is all done, make PMA work on all OpenSource RDBMS ;)
Is this really doable? We're working with database on very low level and this would need complete rewrite...
Not before phpMyAdmin 4.0 please!
- Split out all styles from html (color=, style=, ...) to external css file.
I agree for this one. I got a proposition from a designer about this.
