[Foundation-l] Proposal: WikiTimeline

Wed Mar 22 01:15:31 UTC 2006

Hi Jesse, I commented on the page.  This is a fine idea, though not
one that (at the moment) needs its own domain and capital-P Project. 
There are only a few hundred different timelines at present (most of
them use EasyTimeline and so are listed here:
http://stats.wikimedia.org/EN/TimelinesIndex.htm ), so I agree there
is a real need for a timeline initiative to add these visuals.
