David,
Thanks for that context.
Ii was familiar with the entire Simile projects when it was first
announced at MIT; even built some stuff with it - "way back when".
Today, I'd like to see it work with JSON, but maybe that's just me.
I'm wondering if there exists enough energy to begin modernizing
Timeline. My own use case is that of a timeline browser, the events on
which are topics in a crowd-curated topic map. I'd like to push the
technology.
depends what energy means. enthusiasm certainly. money no.
My research group has continued to work on this path of "easy to author
data interactions." Our current focus is http://mavo.io/ , which is in
many ways *much* more powerful than exhibit---it provides data *editing*
as well as data *visualization*---and is beautifully consistent with
modern web technologies. It would be utterly natural, and useful, to
create a timeline web component and integrate it with Mavo. I have a
very clear picture of the right architecture in my head. And the end
result would be a timeline you could edit in place. However, that
wouldn't be *research*, so it's not something my students can spend time on.

Simile Timeline is 13 years old and has never been modernized. If
nothing better has been created in the past 13 years, that's a sad
indication of the state of modern software. The primary reason
for the continued existence of Simile Timeline is its use as a
component in Simile Exhibit. Simile Exhibit *has* had a bit of
maintenance and modernization. But it is still dependent on
Timeline, and indeed timeline is one of the main pieces of cruft
holding Exhibit back from further modernization. For example,
Exhibit has been detached from dependence on the (ancient) Simile
Ajax library you dug up, but Timeline still depends on it. So
when Exhibit loads Timeline it has to do some wacky stuff to
interface with Simile Ajax.

Hola Luis,
Thanks for asking.
My intention is to build a server application which has the
capability to display massive timelines.
I am left with this question, given that the documentation pages
don't exist for the recent version, only the previous version:
what, really, is the point of building in the first place?
Perhaps it's the case that I don't need to build it, even though
the codebase includes a build.xml (perhaps left over from the
prior versions).
Thanks
Jack

What do you mean? Do you want to build a new release from gh

Has anyone recently built Timeline from the github repo?
I am finding missing artifacts, which provokes build
failures.
Thanks
