I wanted to get started in the open source community by contributing to some well established ones out there. I went with Mozilla Firefox. Signed up on their "Help" page and was contacted by a mentor in a couple of days time.
I was able to patch one bug successfully and while I created another patch for another bug, the owner of that specific module rejected the patch. And he/she wasn't too civil about it. That was offputting really.
After pondering a bit, I realised that there was a need for another GUI for PostgreSQL based on my own experience with the default GUI tool bundled with postgres.
I created pgXplorer (http://pgxplorer.com http://pgxplorer.com). I am extremely satisfied with it. So far some 16 watchers and about a 1000 uniques in 20 days. I am thinking of adding some killer features that will really set it apart from the current open source GUI tool out there.
