Assuming I download all the current api and ajax libraries, can
everything be run out of a single folder (tree) on my hard drive (e.g.
sat on a train, aeroplane, in a area with no web access)?

I know I can run a Timeline page locally from a file:/// URL. I know I
can load the timeline-api.js bundle on a relative URL to my local
Timeline page. Can I do the same with the timeline AJAX library. The
Readme with the source is a bit ambiguous in its reference to needing
a webserver. I don't think the latter's needed as the timeline's code
is all JavaScript, but it's not clear and my tests don't eliminate
some possible false positives. Thus the request for clarification.
Sorry if this sounds dumb - I'm aware I'm amidst much cleverer folk
here!

Also, my understanding is that if using a script reference to the
timeline-AJAX libraries that this is called first. Indeed, the order
of calling in the HTML page is, [ ] being optional:
  [timeline-AJAX]
  timeline-api
  [modified timeline libraries, e.g. custom sources.js, etc.]
  timeline initialisation code (this may be inline in the HTML page)

The bit I do get, is that code modifying existing Timeline prototypes/
methods must load after the main libraries so the newer reference
replace the original ones, and that we initialise last of all
(normally via an onload function)

If I get this figured out, happy to repay my dues by adding to the
wiki docs (here?: http://www.simile-widgets.org/wiki/HowTo_Articles).

Mark
