Change Details

EasyTimeline hasn't gotten a lot of maintenance in the last few years, in part perhaps because the perl script and the ploticus dependency make it harder for MW devs to tweak. Bringing the graphics generation "inside" also could enable fancier future things, such as in-browser visual editing of timelines if it can be translated into something manipulable on the web such as SVG. -------------------------- **Version**: unspecified **Severity**: enhancement **See Also**: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=60263
