[Phpmyadmin-devel] GSOC 2011: PAM MOBILE VERSION just another project idea

hi, I have been using PAM for many years now and have seen it evolve many folds in past few years. I would however like to see a mobile version of PAM in near future, either a web UI optimized of web browsers in cellphones or an app (e.g. an Android app). This will enable managing MYSQL database even more easy. Perhaps someone can take up this task and create an Android app. I think, the entire task may be a bit too long for the GSOC 2011 project but it can be taken up in parts, like initially a basic but required use-cases, and later on this can be extended for various other use cases. -- Rohit Kalhans blogfolio: http://info-rohit.co.cc

It might be indeed useful, however the big question whether it really makes sense to base this on phpMyAdmin, because the UI needs to be quite different. -- Michal Čihař | http://cihar.com | http://blog.cihar.com

I guess a PAM client version for android will be quite useful. from development perspective, we may use the PAM backbone server and create a client for android, the sole purpose of which will be to send HTTP request to the server hosting PHPMyAdmin, The server will in-turn do the task of carrying out the operations. (i know its quite obvious but still). just an other way of making people use PhpMyadmin on the move. On Thu, Apr 7, 2011 at 4:35 PM, Michal Čihař <michal@cihar.com> wrote:

I guess that by PAM you mean phpMyAdmin and Pluggable Authentication Modules, what this shortcut usually means :-).

There is no such thing as server right now. There is no real separation between functionality and the user interface.

What are advantages over providing simplified HTML interface which would work nicely on small devices? -- Michal Čihař | http://cihar.com | http://blog.cihar.com
