Hello,

We've recently upgraded the version of timeline used on
http://www.madeinlocal.com/ . While doing so, the initialization code
got reworked. It contains some useful features summarized below, so I
post it here in the hope that it will be useful.

Features:
* Once the timeline is loaded, it's centered automatically on the next
  upcoming event.
* Start and End markers are automatically created, so the user has a
  visual hint about the period of time for which events are available.
* Timeline start and end are set automatically in a similar manner, so
  the user cannot scroll past the interesting period.
* Date labels are changed from the ugly "Mon, 31 Dec 1094 18:00:00 GMT"
  to something nice and localized. We're using the Llamalab Date library
  [1] for the formatting.

Note that the code is using the Prototype JS library (but it should be
fairly easy to remove that dependency).

@ developers: feel free to add this somewhere on the wiki as an example.

Best regards,
Jonas
