[Isaac Bennetch]

Hello Shriti Arora and welcome to you and your team members.

Manish and Raghuram both have written quite good information; I'll just
add a few things in-line below.

We always welcome new contributors and enjoy getting pull requests.

As you can see in the issue tracker[1], there are many issues that come
in and simply haven't been properly confirmed and tested or haven't yet
been fixed.

You and your team are welcome to jump in and begin looking through to
see if there's any issue that catches your attention. For some bigger
issues, we recommend discussing them first (on this mailing list or in
the tracker itself) in case there is some implementation detail that
needs to be decided.

There's a wiki with some pages that might be helpful[2] and the issue
tracker has some 'newbie' issues tagged[3] which are recommended for new
contributors.

How would you be graded on this; would the professor ask for anything
from the phpMyAdmin team or simply follow your work and code
contributions through the semester?
