It would be very difficult, expensive and time consuming to produce comprehensive and useful documentation on timeline. I have been working with Timeline for a year now. Timeline is much more complicated than it first appears. There are so many technologies involved. It has dozens of moving parts. It is difficult to debug and if you misplace a comma or a bracket, your can lose hours of effort without a clue as to what went wrong. Its like an all or nothing thing, unlike procedural programming. You can work for hours on a project and all of a sudden come up with a blank timeline, which presents no evidence of a solution. And then it feels like you have to start all over again, feeling like you haven't learned anything. Frustrating. My progress is taking much longer than I had expected. But I am not going to give up, because its potential is just so great, especially if you can get it to work interactively with databases. You are not alone, and I hope you can take some comfort from this.
