      Testing and quality assurance

      One of important things is to avoid problems in user interface. You can really help us here to provide feedback on releases and especially by testing pre-releases (alpha/beta/rc) we provide for testing. Just download them and report any issues you face with them.

      Documentation writer

      Do you feel our documentation misses some points? We welcome additions, just let us know how you think the documentation can be improved. You can open a patch tracker item with your suggestions. Should you know git, you can directly submit patches, but this is not necessary.

      • Tip:

        Many projects have good small tasks that can teach newcomers how the project works. Now's your chance to share one of them!

        Include URLs if relevant (we'll automatically linkify them).

      • Example:

        Someone could improve the photo upload dialog box so that it lets you resize the photo before sending it to the web.

        I don't know how to get started with internationalizing my app.

        Bug 392 about printing was filed five years ago, and I don't even know if printing still works.

        I want help from a C coder writing a Maildir patch for Alpine.

About phpMyAdmin

(logo)

phpMyAdmin is a free software tool written in PHP intended to handle the administration of MySQL over the World Wide Web. phpMyAdmin supports a wide range of operations with MySQL. The most frequently used operations are supported by the user interface (managing databases, tables, fields, relations, indexes, users, permissions, etc), while you still have the ability to directly execute any SQL statement.

from the profile of Michal Čihař (nijel)

The code is mostly written in PHP.
