Hmm, yeah I’m a bit disappointed in how it doesn’t let you group events so
they show up in the same place horizontally. So, if we want to use this in
its current state, we’d have to drop the version dates which isn’t good.
I hope the group that put this out gets back to me. There was no one contact
for Timeline, so I sent one of the professors over the project page the
note. Hopefully he’ll get the message to the right person and I’ll hear
back.
It would be nice if you could just contain events within a group tag and
that would force them to the same line provided they don’t overlap.

The alternative timelines I’ve checked out have either fewer features or
don’t display as nicely as we’d want for this. The original seems to be the
best so far, and is really only lacking a couple features to make it ideal.
Is anyone here good with javascript? I looked at the source .html file for
the timeline and it references this JavaScript file on the project server:
http://simile.mit.edu/timeline/api/timeline-api.js
I wonder if someone could go in and modify this and build the grouping
funcionality, and we can host the .js files on a web server and further build
out the timeline?

Nothing can be found in that file that helps us. You have to go to the project
page and then you have all files for download and there are a lot. As far as I
understand the code the file that has the code that we have to change is here,
but I do not understand all from that complex programming.
http://simile.mit.edu/repository/timeline/trunk/src/webapp/api/scripts/detailed-painter.js
But this is only a suggestion. It is a mighty project and javascript is very,
very bad to debug.
