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
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ones may be out of date or more tricky to solve.
