Hi!
The MediaWiki extension WikiTimeLine version 1.0 is released. It displays events, people,
and such on an interactive timeline. Its working with JavaScript (client side, so it
doesn't but load on the server) and its pretty interactive (moving around, zooming,
clicking on events on the timeline). If you add WikiTimeLine tags with a start and end
date to an article, you'll get a link in that article, and if you click on that link
you'll add event to the timeline. So its totally real-time. Unlike easytimeline which
is creating pictures when the article is created, WikiTimeLine is controlled by the reader
of the article, not the writer. So everyone can put together their own timeline to see how
things went in history. It also allows ongoing events (that have not yet stopped) and
alternative begin or end dates.
I think this would be a great extension for Wikipedia or one of its sister projects. Any
interest in that?
greetings,
Markus
