[Foundation-l] Fwd: New Semi-Wikipedia Project proposal: WikiTimeLine

[Husky]

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.
