Dear all, I wrote to the Histopedia team if it was possible to get some kind of histopedia result format for SMW. The problem with the timeline and eventline formats is that they are very old and not maintained.
Here is some snippets of what they wrote me: "We've recently released a JavaScript library called HistropediaJS, which allows you to use any data source with the Histropedia timeline engine. The basic licence is free for non-commercial use, including the right to edit the code where advanced customisation is required (most simple customisation can be done with the built in options). Is this licence permissive enough for use in SMW wikis? We do plan on open sourcing at some point, but not sure of the timescale yet as we need to get a bit further with our business model first. p.s. Very happy to offer any advise/assistance needed in using HistropediaJS" So my questions to the SMW developers: 1. Is anybody interested in developing a new result format based on Histopedia.js 2. Is anybody interested in taking over https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ChapTimeline - another abandoned approach on prividing a new timeline format 3. Is anybody interested in doing another sort of current timline/eventline format I am happy to connect you with the Histopedia person. To the users/organisations: is anybody interested in this and can put up some funding? cheers, Bernhard ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, SlashDot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Semediawiki-devel mailing list Semediawiki-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/semediawiki-devel
