Timeline Gets a Facelift
The projects timeline at Eclipse.org just got a facelift thanks to the Simile Project at MIT and the work we’ve been doing to centralize all the project information that was formerly held in project-info.xml files into a single database. There is some work to do cleaning up dates that are malformed in the DB (hence some project data is not yet shown) but the new front-end is done and I think it’s pretty cool. Check it out here.

Great! I had like to suggest do it long before,:). Now, you can even show timeline in Eclipse IDE use the Eclipse Timeline Plugin. Check it out in http://code.google.com/p/eclipsetimeline/, or use the update site http://eclipsetimeline.googlecode.com/svn/updates.
All you need is install the plugin, open the Timeline view, and add xml event source use URL http://www.eclipse.org/projects/timeline/timeline-data.php

I noticed the Eclipse project’s project-info.xml was out of date, so I have updated it with the latest release information.

Hi John, thanks for updating that. Unfortunately the timeline is pulling from the database which is data from a couple of weeks ago. When the portal component is released we’ll deprecate the project-info.xml files and I’ll re-import the newest data at that point. It will take a little time before your new data shows up.
