Hi Dulanja,

To check for coding standards, we use CodeSniffer, you may have a look at
[0] [1].

At [2] you will find links to some unimplemented feature requests. Anyway
you can always go through the bug/feature trackers to know what suits your
skills.

For using/debugging, yes you need to have PMA on your server, but to be
able to submit the changes done by you in your local PMA as a diff or
patch, you need to have the local PMA as a git repo cloned. Also preferred
way to contribute is :-

1. Have an account on github.com and fork the phpMyAdmin repo under your
account.
2. Clone your fork of phpMyAdmin repo to your local machine.
3. Do your local changes, commit, push to your fork.
4. Open a pull request with the changes on github.

you may want to have a look at [3] [4] [5] while learning about git.
