Regarding Recover.gov's use of Timeline software:

- Works fine on my copies of FF, Chrome, Safari and IE 
- I added it to the wiki's In-the-wild page
- I submitted a request through their comments system:

~~~~~~~~~
Hello,

I am one of the maintainers for the Timeline software that you are using on the 
home page of recovery.gov. I'm delighted that you're using it, but attribution 
on your copyright page or elsewhere would be appropriate and appreciated.

Regards,

Larry Kluger

We'll see if there's any reply...if not, I know folks in a Congressman's office 
who, I believe, will be willing to submit the above comment to the Whitehouse 
congressional liaison office.

Regards,

Larry

Odd... it's working fine on my FF.

I wish the site's developers have left some trace of credits. Certainly 
if they were embedding Google Maps they wouldn't/couldn't have removed 
all traces of Google.
