Bugzilla scripts: timeline and roadmap

Note: This is an old post in a blog with a lot of posts over a long span of time. The world has changed, technologies have changed, and I've changed. It's likely this is out of date, the code doesn't work, the ideas haven't aged well, or the ideas were terrible to begin with. Let me know if you think this is something that needs updating.

A few years ago, we switched from Trac to Bugzilla. After doing this, we discovered there were some things we really missed about Trac. The first was a unified timeline so that we could see what was going on in the bug tracker. The second was a roadmap that showed us, for a given milestone, where we were at.

I coded up both of these and over the years have made some adjustments. I made the timeline script available a while back, but I don't think I ever made the roadmap script available.

The repository with both of these is at https://git.participatoryculture.org/bugzillascripts/.

They work with our Bugzilla 3.6 instance. I haven't tested either on other versions or other instances.

If you use either or both, send me an email about whether it works for you, bugs, comments, ...
