Hi Yaron,
that's a good question. Basically I'd like to see the existing functionality
from the exhibit timeline/eventline in a more modern style (and probably also
better responsiveness). Futhermore both of the others (histropedia and chap)
feature the display of pictures on the timeline, which of course is also nice
to have.
cheers,
Bernhard
