Hello Everyone!
I am Sukhdeep Singh, an undergrad student with Major as Computer Science & Engineering. I have been very much interested in open source software development from the previous years. This interest has got me to phpMyAdmin.
No Doubt, phpMyAdmin is the most used mysql interface for each level of developers. I have started using it from the beginning of my course.
Now I wish to contribute to it as a developer. I have working experience in php, mysql, html, sql, javascript and can do my best to complete the work.
Also I got to know about GSoC lately, But they say its too late. But I still hope I can get great guidance from developers here which project to work upon.
I have gone through the GSoC Idea page of phpMyAdmin and found these of my interest:
1. Parser/analyzer rewrite/replacement
I would love to contribute to this library on which the whole sql parsing relies. I have worked and contributed in php library 'odtPHP' which is used for creating/manipulating odt files using the php script and made out a successful project out of it to be used at my institution.
2. User interface improvements
Well, from my working experience, I am aware that user Interface is the major factor that makes the user to use/not use any software. This would be a pleasure for me to work on it. I have a little experience in web 2d cad software, I hope that can help.
Please help to choose project so that I can contribute to this most used software and also get selected in GSoC.
Hope to get a positive reply really soon.
