Hello Mark.
Hi,
well, fixing "a fairly easy bug" is probably not the best way to show
your skills to the mentoring team. Please have a look at the bug tracker
and/or the feature requests tracker, pick something that is unassigned
and mention in the ticket that you are working on it.
I suggest to pick some recent bug tickets or feature requests, as older
ones may be out of date or more tricky to solve.

Yes. This is intended to show my skills for Google Summer Of Code. But not
only for that. I wasn't very aware of open source projects ... I kept using
phpmyadmin ...
And then I heard about GSoC and attended a seminar, which is where I
realized I could actually contribute.
So. Yes. This would be for Google Summer of Code, but irrespective of
whether I get it or not... I want to contribute to phpmyadmin in a major
way.
Regards,
Vaishak
