Sebb commented on COMDEV-174:
-----------------------------
The code now uses data from Whimsy.
However there are some historical inaccuracies that ideally ought to be
resolved.
> projects.json is inaccurate for graduated podlings
> --------------------------------------------------

> Key: COMDEV-174
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COMDEV-174
> Project: Community Development
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Reporter Tool
> Reporter: Sebb
>
> The entries in projects.json come from scraping the page
> http://people.apache.org/committer-index.html
> This includes both LDAP groups and auth groups that are defined in the
> asf-authorization-template file.
> The script takes note of when a group is first seen, any subsequent changes
> are regarded as additions to the group.
> The reporter tool is supposed to show what changes the PMC has made.
> However, when a podling graduates, the template group is converted into the
> corresponding LDAP unix group. This means that changes to the podling group
> are recorded from the start of the podling rather than the start of the PMC.
> One way to fix this might be to ignore changes that occurred before the PMC
> creation date. Unfortunately the exact creation date is not currently
> recorded in the committee-info data file (only the month/year is stated). It
> should be possible to deduce the actual date from the earliest joining dates
> (assuming these are accurate).
