Troubleshooting and Support

The Code Base
The development team maintains an evolving code base from which they periodically
issue releases. A paragraph in the home page downloads section describes how to
use Subversion to get the latest version in development. (This can be also done by
downloading the Subversion snapshot.) A contribution (translation update, patch,
new feature) will be considered with a higher priority if it refers to the latest code
base, and not to an ancient phpMyAdmin version.
Translation Updates
Taking a look at the project's current list of 54 languages, we notice that they are
not equally well maintained. The details about translations are available at
http://cihar.com/phpMyAdmin/translations/. We can try to join the official
translator for a particular language, to propose corrections to/or translations
of recently added messages. If this person does not answer, we can send our
modifications to the translation tracker, inside a compressed (.zip) file.
Patches
The development team can manage patches more easily if they are submitted in the
form of a context diff against the current code base, with an explanation of the
problem solved or the new feature achieved.
