In my Copious Free Time I’ve been playing around with The SIMILE Project’s excellent open-source tool timeline — its very easy to use (although I haven’t used it much so far) and so I knocked up a flashy ‘web2.0’ time line of books written by anthropologists in the 1970s — you can see the very rough anthro theory timeline here. I think its incredibly cool and that we should fill in All Relevant Dates going back to League of the Iroquois. But then again that just might be me. So… how would you populate it?

Is there any way to allow public editing? Seems like a valuable tool, especially if collaboration is allowed.
This is way too lowtech to have some interface for people to edit, but you can make one yourself quite easily — the instructions are at

and the data file for my timeline is at

The idea is really interesting, but it does not seem to work for me on firefox or IE……. comes up empty!
Same for me. Worked a few days ago.
