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

Do you use the Hotmail web app or Outlook?
Marco, who thinks that Hotmail sucks
lol... interesting question ;)Well, Hotmail... since microsoft doesn't allow outlook express to connect to hotmail any longer.I'm not a big microsoft fan myself, but I'll have to say hotmail is not much lamer than gmx... The funniest thing: the new hotmail version doesn't work in IE8 any longer (only the classical version). Only microsoft could produce two incompatible products *lol*
greetings, Markus

at least the gmx webmail (which sucks because of the ads and the slowness) doesn't break up lines like hotmail^^

*that* is real funny. a good example what happens when different parts of a company don't exchange stuff...

FYI, Outlook Express access was silently reenabled some time after they closed it for the old users which still had access.
