WikiTimeLine Extension possibly a good idea for implementation on Wikipedia or sister projects

Hi!

The MediaWiki extension WikiTimeLine version 1.0 is released. It displays events, people, and such on an interactive timeline. Its working with JavaScript (client side, so it doesn't but load on the server) and its pretty interactive (moving around, zooming, clicking on events on the timeline). If you add WikiTimeLine tags with a start and end date to an article, you'll get a link in that article, and if you click on that link you'll add event to the timeline. So its totally real-time. Unlike easytimeline which is creating pictures when the article is created, WikiTimeLine is controlled by the reader of the article, not the writer. So everyone can put together their own timeline to see how things went in history. It also allows ongoing events (that have not yet stopped) and alternative begin or end dates.

I think this would be a great extension for Wikipedia or one of its sister projects. Any interest in that?

greetings,
Markus
