Just a question (srry this is not strictly foundation related, but it's the only true meta lsit I've found)
Has anyone worked on an extension for timelines like the ones on the simile project? Was anyone aware of that project?
Example: http://matmor.unam.mx/~drini/timelines.php
They're much more appealing than the ones we currently use. Code is BSD licensed and I've linked a JSON data file on the example.
Many more examples on the homepage: http://simile.mit.edu/timeline/
I know I know "what about those using lynx"!!! Yet we have embedded video and sound players, we use foldable divs tricks, etc, use an ajax search box etc.
A similar interesting one and with a great potential is also the Timeplot one.
Good idea? Bad idea?
It would be most excellent to have something like this.
Wikprojects could make timelines of events in their areas, and it would be a great asset to the public.

Not dynamic like this one. You can scroll through large periods and have comments instead of just links to articles. Much like the Encarta timeline which I loved.
