GSoC_2009_Student_Checklist

If you want to participate in GSoC 2009 as a student, you should do your best to persuade us that you are the best candidate.

• Show us some PHP code you've written in the past.
  • Links to projects where you participated if there are any.
• Get involved as soon as possible with the phpMyAdmin project.
  • Introduce yourself on mailing list.
  • Submit patches for bugs or new features, so that we can see your code before starting big GSoC project.
• Write good proposal (and use MySQL template for that).
  • Fill in all fields.
  • Define goals of your proposal, we should see quickly what is topic of your proposal.
  • Choose descriptive name (phpMyAdmin overhaul, phpMyAdmin improvements are not good ones).
• Clearly define deliverables.
  • At least define what you expect to deliver in mid-term and as a final results.
  • It is okay to define optional deliverables also.
• If you want to do import improvements, consider submitting also secondary proposal, because we have quite a lot of students for this topic already.
