Barry, exhibit is perfectly happy putting two timelines into a single
page; you just place a separate view tag for each one. You can include
more than one data link in an exhibit, thus pulling from multiple
sources. Exhibit also has a notion of "collections"; you can specify a
certain subset of the data as being part of a collection, and specify
that a given view (or facet) acts only on one collection of data.

So, for example if you classify your data as two different types, you
can place on type in each timeline.

I'm quite new to using exhibit and timeline. I've played with the
examples I've found and was feeling comfortable enough to start my own
project but once I identified that project, I ran into a stumbling
block quickly. The time line examples show me how to easily use two
datasources side by side - which is what I need.....BUT editing the
file was a pain so I was overjoyed to see examples of exhibit/timeline
using a google spreadsheet.
I could find no example of using timeline alone with a google
spreadsheet but could also see incentive to make the exhibit/timeline
switch. That is perfect BUT all the examples for exhibit/timelin I've
found so far use only one datasource and I'm finding the documentation
for exhibit and timeline very...difficult to find to see if what I'm
trying to do is even option.
Using the following to identify one eventSource, I'm clueless about
how to identify a second one to be used with an additional
timelineConstructor ( which is what I'm assuming I need to do for each
additional timeline)
<link

ex:converter="googleSpreadsheets"/>
Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.
