Hi Brian,

A couple of notes in addition to David's comments:
* Please provide good wiki change messages when you make wiki changes
or additions.
* Please prefix all wiki change messages with WIKI: so we can easily
determine which svn changes were for the wiki and which were for the
various projects.

* I suggest that you start a new section of the svn, call it
wiki_images (at same level as directory 'wiki' and other projects) in
the svn. Use the svn directory for storing the images that you
reference on the wiki pages. Eg over time we want to not be relying on
the MIT servers. But first test storing images in the svn, I'm not
sure that the mime-types are served correctly for images. It may also
be possible to explicitly store an svn property of svn:mime-type  (it
looks like Google code stores that). This idea of storing images in
the svn may not work, but it should be investigated. For example, you
CAN view the jfk example via the Google svn server at
http://simile-widgets.googlecode.com/svn/timeline/trunk/src/webapp/examples/jfk/jfk.html
This is a good thing. It will enable us to use the svn repository as a
web server. We may even be able to serve up the js libraries this way
(needs further investigation and discussion first)

On the other hand,
http://simile-widgets.googlecode.com/svn/timeline/trunk/src/webapp/examples/test_example/test.html
is NOT served as html. I believe the issue has to do with the svn
properties for the file.


* Note that rdq123 has been doing a great job of adding content to the
Timeline wiki pages. I've been adding a fair amount too. .
* Moving/documenting questions and answers from this group into the
wiki would be very helpful. The questions that come up on the mailing
list are all very real for someone, so documenting them for others can
be very helpful.

* Another topic that you could research and write wiki documentation
for: Timeline spinoffs.
Timeline is used in three ways:
a) As a stand-alone widget
b) As a display method in Exhibit ("display method" is probably not
the right term)
c) As a widget in Google land
Documenting how the different uses interact with the code base would
be very useful.
Eg If someone is using the Google Timeline widget, how would they
start using a new version of the Timeline software?
If someone is using Timeline via Exhibit, what do they do to use the
latest version of the Timeline software?

If the one trunk is not used for all three uses, what would be
required to fix that? (May not be possible or practical.)

Thanks,

Larry
