Hi, I am a student pursuing B Tech(Graduation) in Computer Science and Engineering from India and i am in final semester.I am new to this community and posting my views for the very first time. I want to convert this application into Three tier architecture. I have worked on PHPMyAdmin for my personal purpose. I also want to work for User Interface improvement but couldn't get so much idea about it, if somebody can help me understanding it? I have a working experience of one year in PHP and i work as a freelancer also in PHP for an organization. And this time i want to contribute in PHPMyadmin as a part of my open source evangelism. I don't have any idea how to post properly on this list so please guide me if i went wrong anywhere.

Hi Rakesh,
Completely converting phpMyAdmin to another system, be it 3-tier architecture, MVC or something else, is out of scope for GSoC.
If want to apply for the OOP project of GSoC, you better focus on converting a small part of the current phpMyAdmin code into a class. Are you familiar with OOP? Do you know about Design patterns [0] and [1]? You can get some inspiration for possible classes : [2]
BTW : Did you read the applicants guide [3], especially the part about submitting a patch?

Good luck.
Kind regards,
