Although made specifically for Wikipedia it can be used outside a wiki
context.
Updating an existing timeline (e.g. correcting or adding an event) should be
easy indeed for uninitiated, yet creating an original design and fine-tuning
may easily take a couple of hours. I'm not sure everyone would consider that
'wikiwiki' enough. :)
Once I got some new features online, and unicode support added, I will work
on more examples, which can serve as a template.

Here are two great sites that may serve as inspiration, my hands itch to
recreate some of those timelines verbatim, but I'm afraid that would be 'not
done'.
Hyperhistory (e.g. click on button 'people' left, then on 'special
lifelines', right.

I hope we will have a set like this in a years time (click on full size
image for any map), possibly even with images. The main effort will be to
gather all info without snatching everything from here (most of these maps
are based exclusively on data from Brittanica).
