   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.

I did some more digging on the project homepage and found the name of the creator. I sent him an email directly (vs the prof. over the project). We’ll see what happens there. Otherwise, I’ve been meaning to have a friend or two look into the .js file and will when I can.
