Item414: Taking ownership of HistoryPlugin, RevCommentPlugin, ChartPlugin and CompareRevisionsAddOn.

Taking ownership of HistoryPlugin, RevCommentPlugin and CompareRevisionsAddOn.

and of ChartPlugin

The original author slammed the door on twiki.org in 2006 so they have not had any fixed owner.

I now take official ownership.

They deserve an owner as these are some of the best plugins / addons ever written.

Hopefully they can be migrated into core in time.

I encourage these to be included as default plugins which is why I have put a Feel Free To Modify on them.

But please maintain compatibility so they still show the right history on older topics.

Enjoy these fine extensions. We have used them since 2006 at Motorola. And they work GREAT.

Only the changes inside tables could be better. But it is at least as good as the rdiff view.

Also adding ChartPlugin under my wings

I also love this plugin. I have plans to extend it in near future with more features.

The original author has not maintained this for many many years and I never saw in on TWiki.org the past years and he is not part of the fork.

Peter we do not need to ask. He will not maintain it here as Foswiki. So I can safely give this one tender loving care the next years.

I put it FeelFreeToModify. But again please do not break compatibility. Old charts must still work the same way. Only extend in a compatible way or bugfix. It is a mission critical plugin for some. at least for Motorola. We generate many good metrics with it.
