Pleased by GSoC applications quality

So far I'm quite pleased by quality of GSoC applications we receive for phpMyAdmin. Tightening our applicant guide seems to be good idea and getting people active early and discuss the proposals seems to filter out the bad ones.

This also means that we will probably receive much less applications than last year. We've received 64 last year and we're not yet at half of the count, while only three days are left for students to submit their proposals.

Anyway take this as friendly reminder that not much time is left, especially if you want to receive some feedback for adjusting missing bits in the proposal.

phpMyAdmin translation status

We're heading to release candidates for phpMyAdmin 3.4.0, so the translators have less time to make the translations better. The Italian translation got to 100% this week thanks to Rouslan Placella. So there are now 14 translations at 100%:

There are still lot of translations which would need some love, for example:

The progress recently started to work on Bulgarian and Brazilian Portuguese translations seems to be stalled for now, what is not good.

You can help make translation to your language better! If your language is missing just let me know (either in comments or by email).
