But if no active developers are familiar with the code, this may take
some effort (patches welcome). Also, I seem to recall (several years
ago, back when I last heard someone complain about this) that the big
problem is not in EasyTimeline itself, but in the third-party software
which it uses to render the images. Thus, MediaWiki developers might
not be able to fix the problem on their own at all.
It also doesn't help that it is written in Perl. Although it is not as
rare as some other languages (ocaml to take a total random example) it
would help if it would be in PHP. (The same goes for math)
