Hi Fellow Timeline Developers! I've reached the point in my project where I'm focused on adding Timeline to the system. I'm writing a SAAS (Software as a service) system. Two paying customers so far, hopefully many more to come :-). Still in stealth, will say more later this year.
==>> Anyhow, I'd like permission to add to the wiki and to the trunk. (See next post.) --My development methodology for a new package is to document my progress as I solve the various problems that crop up as I make progress towards my goal. So I'm willing to augment/create the various wiki pages as I go through the process with Timeline. In my case, my initial goals for Timeline are: * Create Timelines for my customer's projects automatically. (Customer's projects live within my SAAS application.) Determine the minimum parameters that need to be manually set by the customers. -- Calculate all other Timeline parameters as needed. The Timelines will have anywhere from 300 to 3000 events. The Timeline should have good performance. * Use json as data format but investigate using calls to Date within the "json" data structure. Of course, Date calls mean that it is not real JSON anymore, but that's fine with me if it works well and improves performance. * Write a new (alternate) event painter that will use Ajax to retrieve the event's details when the user clicks on the event. Cache the results on the browser. Event bubble contents should be skinnable by the customer--retrieve the html for the bubble as set by the customer's templates. Because of the larger amount of data per bubble, only fetch it when the user clicks on the event in a band. * Investigate using the mouse scroll wheel to scroll forward and backward in time on the Timeline. I'm aware of using the scroll wheel to optionally zoom. My timelines won't need zoom ability, while all need to be moved in time.
