[ckan-dev] Recline.JS problems

[Daniel Lombraña González]

Hi,

Just to let you know I finished my work with ReclineJS with this beautiful
time line:

http://www.citizencyberscience.net/t4t-webapp/stats/club.html

The time line shows the users from the CERN project
Test4Theory<http://lhcathome2.cern.ch/>that have contributed more than
1 Billion, with B, of simulated events for
the physics experiments! From the point of view of the development, I would
say that I had to tweak several aspects of the timeline.js library just to
"adapt" some "visuals" regarding the dates (i.e. removing the hour and
minutes, adding the string "On " to the top dates, etc.).

The source code is available here, if you want to have a look, but I guess
it is not really interesting:

Cheers,

Daniel
