Hi List!

  Could everybody please have a look at Bug #564793,
 and give me your input on such an authentication system as I have
 proposed. 
I like the idea of challenge/response and I presume
it can be use either for cookie or http mode. But it
musn't require js in my opinion and that's an annoying
point.

...
  Here is my plan of attack on things:
 early 2.3.1 release candiates will have:
 Parser analyzer system functions in place and basic use
 Initial code for bug #564793 (either the session cookie OR
 the symmetric encryption, not both) 
OK.

...
  DB-config helper functions in place and used 
I'm afraid it will be long to make an end for this
work and test it widely. Moreover there were many changes
in 2.3.0 and I would prefer we just fix bugs now and
perhaps add some very little features.

...
  late 2.3.1 release candiates / early 2.3.2 release
candiates:
 full DB-Config system (actual database storage)
 Parser analyzer UI (better responses than MySQL server responses!)
 Final code for bug #564793 
OK.

...
 How busy is everybody else expecting to be over
the next few months? 
I'm afraid I won't work much more on PMA than today :(

...
 I'd tentativly like to suggest that we aim
for 45 days between releases. That gives us a month for
features, and two weeks for a pair of release candiates. 
I agree :)

 I have a request for all developers: please assign
yourself only to the bugs/features your are really
working on now, or plan to work on because
they are related to some part of the code you are
involved with. 
Done.
