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)
