Hi, all.
I analysed welcome page of phpMyAdmin and thought about simplify it for non-admin users. http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/ze85PZJPQL1dl4aOgaPTgw?authkey=Gv1sRgCM...
And suggest my vision of version of welcome page http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/wZURKjM1YUbSfzBUL2Qpjg?authkey=Gv1sRgCM...
The most used operation with mysql through phpmyadmin is Basic Administration operations (Database Managament, User Administration, Backup and Restore) and Browse Databases (explore db structure, run SQL queries and edit table data). New users need some help as a rule. And we must provide some documentation for them.
This is my reflection about usability of phpmyadmin.
What do you think about it?
Hi Pavel, what happens if someone clicks Backup?
I would like to see some backup wizard as requested in rfe:2649375 https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=2649375&gr... The "Backup" is synonim for "Export".
What is under the Administration
Full list of administration functions grouped by categories and frequency of usage.
and SQL Manipulation menus?
Tabs with query editor, result table and toolbar for running queries.
I'm not sure about "Important Messages". If these were not important, why show them?
Ok we can replace "Important Messages" with some other phrase but idea of this section is inform about problems. We can name it "Problems", "System Messages" or "Messages" or something else.
Where is the part named "MySQL" with MySQL server info, charset, etc?
In the "MySQL" block we have the following info: "Server: localhost via TCP/IP" it may be shown at the "MySQL Server Status" page "Server version: 5.1.44-community" it may be shown at the "MySQL Server Status" page "Protocol version: 10" why non-geek user should know protocol version? "User: root@localhost" this shown at top right corner "MySQL charset: UTF-8 Unicode (utf8)" each db and table may have its own charset and it more usefull display on with the table information or no?
I want to participate in GSoC this year and can develop UI prototypes for other parts. But I want to know that I am at the right direction.
Thank you for good questions.

Of course, discussion about UI is often a matter of preferences. However, looking at your proposed Welcome page, I wonder which kind of users you are targeting. It seems to be intended for sysadmins. What would a non-privileged user see?
Also, some simple actions like "Create database", "Change password" and the interface choices are gone?

I forgot: I don't think we are allowed to used the MySQL Dolphin logo.
