[Foundation-l] EasyTimeline and WikiHiero enabled on all wikis

[Erik Moeller]

EasyTimeline by Erik Zachte is an extension for creating graphical  
timelines with clickable links. WikiHiero by Guillaume 'Aoineko' Blanchard  
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.
