Thats really really cool. I love the timeline. It might not be really
"pretty" at the moment, but this is obviously just the start. As
graphic libs evolve these will just get better and better looking. I
wonder what they would look like if they could be made into PDF.. text
anti-aliasni just makes things so much prettier most of the time

EasyTimeline by Erik Zachte is an extension for

is for rendering hieroglyphs. Both are now enabled on all Wikimedia
wikis.
As per our earlier extension syntax vote, EasyTimeline uses the
<timeline>
syntax, WikiHiero uses the <hiero> syntax.
You can read more about them here:

To my knowledge, MediaWiki is the only wiki software which supports
such
functionality. It should make our wikis interesting even in the highest
academic circles.
Although EasyTimeline can generate SVG output, only PNG output is
currently supported. In the future, we hope to offer SVG as a user
preference.
