[jira] [Commented] (WHIMSY-63) Provide a feed of account creation dates with corrected data

["Shane Curcuru (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WHIMSY-63?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16044916#comment-16044916 ] 

Shane Curcuru commented on WHIMSY-63:
-------------------------------------

Is this sufficient to be considered fixed, or is there more work to do?
It feels like this is "close enough" for most statistics at this point, although I will note there seem to still be some errors.  For example, I was originally a committer at least as early as 3 Dec 1999, not 20000720 as the historical data notes.

> As discussed on INFRA-12008, the earliest {{createTimestamp}} in LDAP is 20090519, which corresponds with when the full LDAP import happened. This is problematic for things like the {{projects.a.o}} timeline + {{accounts-evolution.json}} data, and for the ComDev locations map over time. 
> As Infra feel that maintaining the corrected creation date in LDAP isn't a core need, and it would be very painful to fix the current data, we should instead have Whimsy publish a fixed list. This would read the {{createTimestamp}} from ldap, and apply a correction for most (but not all) 2004-2009 accounts based on account creation notices. (We can potentially extend it later for pre-2004 accounts too)
