Hi all,

I've been fooling around with Timeline for the last week, trying to understand
how the various functions work. This isn't easy for a cut and paste coder
teaching in an English department. I would like to use Timeline in classes for
students to collaboratively represent historical events in a time period or to
chart the events of a single novel. 

As such, I am trying to figure out how to get the XML from a tool that would
allow multiple users to edit the data set and that would dynamically update the
timeline (i.e., Sally logs in to Google Spreadsheets, adds a date and
description to the proper fields, and the timeline updates itself automatically
from the published spreadsheet). Is it possible to do something like this with
Google Documents or something like ZOHO?

I've been working some with Exhibit, following David Huynh's instructions for
Google Spreadsheets, and trying to adapt them for Timeline. I haven't yet been
successful, however.

Any advice will be very welcome. Thank you,
Brian Croxall
