Hi Besiktastan, Until things change, continue to use the examples and code on the getting started page.
But, yes, the changes I have in mind would impact the getting started sections of the docs. They would then resemble more traditional docs on using Javascript libraries such as the YUI docs. (Load the libraries, then call the code.) I also agree that the documentation needs some luv. A number of people have been working on it on and off. Your help in improving it would be greatly appreciated. The current documentation is http://www.simile-widgets.org/wiki/Reference_Documentation_for_Timeline it is a wiki -- please create an account, log in, and improve it! Thanks, Larry ps, As far as I know, timeline_local_example_1.0.zip, dated Mar 2009, is still a good example. Does it not work for you?
