Add topicContribution to Charts
[edit]Hi Chris,
How are you doing? How's the charts project? I would like to contribute to the charts project with interactive chart editors and potentially the project in general.
Specifically, I was looking at the Band Members' timelines on band pages when I realized they are generated PNG images. I was wondering why you don't use SVG instead. After some digging, I found out that they are made with the EasyTimeline extension, which you plan to replace with a new Chart extension.
I was thinking that for this specific use case, I could create a web app where you enter the band members and years in a visual editor, see the preview right away, and export the SVG code or the metadata in the format you need.
About myself, I'm a big fan of SVG, published a site called SVG-Tutorial.com and I like making interactive web apps. On the other hand I never contributed to open source in any major way, so I'm not sure how this works. I think this could be a good starting exercise.
So what do you think?
Thanks,
