Sebb commented on WHIMSY-63:
----------------------------
Doesn't look like it.
The overides are in the file
https://gitbox.apache.org/repos/asf?p=whimsy.git;a=blob;f=lib/whimsy/asf/person/override-dates.rb;hb=HEAD
and the data is applied in ASF::Person::createTimestamp():
https://gitbox.apache.org/repos/asf?p=whimsy.git;a=blob;f=lib/whimsy/asf/person.rb;hb=HEAD#l89
However there does not seem to be a JSON file that includes the createTimestamp.
At present public_ldap_people.json only includes:
- id
- name
- URLs
- fingerprints
- noLogin
Is there a need for the overrides to be available separately?
It might make sense to add createTimestamp to the existing output.

> 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)
