We warmly invite students who would like a coding summer job that helps improving phpMyAdmin via the Google Summer of Code (under the umbrella of the MySQL organization), to look at the phpMyAdmin section here: http://forge.mysql.com/wiki/SummerOfCode2009Ideas. This page contains a link that explains the GSoC in details.
Last year our project had two students who added valuable modules to phpMyAdmin. Google accepts student applications from March 23 to April 3, so look at the list now and prepare your application!
Marc Delisle, for the team
