I don't know if this has been mentioned yet somewhere, but in terms of
the interface a *very* good example on how to implement a cool
timeline on the web is the SIMILE project by the MIT
http://simile.mit.edu/timeline/
It's open source (BSD-licensed) as well.

Subject: New Semi-Wikipedia Project proposal: WikiTimeLine
To: foundation-l-owner(a)lists.wikimedia.org
Hello!
Here is a new proposal for a Semi-Wikipedia Project: The adding of Beginning
and End date of events and persons to the wikipedia articles through
template parameters. This template would generate an external link to
WikiTimeLine.net which would add a timeline of this event or person to the
timeline-display of WikiTimeLine.
More Information at
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiTimeLine.net
or
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Proposals_for_new_projects#WikiTimeLine where
you can also state your support.
How such a timeline could look like can be seen at
http://www.wikitimescale.org
but the functionallity is completly different. For more information on
differences see the project page on MetaWiki mentioned above.
greetings,
DontPanic
