The "BC" comes from the labeller for your Timeline band. Options: 1) Change the method's prototype Timeline.GregorianDateLabeller.prototype.defaultLabelInterval It is in the file src/webapp/api/scripts/labellers.js Near the end of the method, you'll see that it adds the suffix "BC" to the year. Change that to whatever you want. 2) Supply your own custom labeller when you create the Timeline band, you'll need to read the documentation and, perhaps, source to figure out how to do that. Since "BC" is not used by all peoples, the string "BC" really should be internationalized. You could add this email as an issue so it is tracked in the future.

Change the labeller and the labels will be whatever you want. You could even have the labeller use different numbers. Eg since BOW was 1815, you could have the year 1715 shown as "1715 (100 yr BBOW)" > > By the way, I'm a complete newbieto ajax, java and so on... so please > be gentle. ;-) You will need to know some Javascript for this. Also how to download source using svn, and how to serve it using a web server. Go find someone in the Computer Science or Electrical Engineering dept. Most any Junior or Senior would be able to help you and would enjoy meeting people who work on BOW issues. (Especially those of the opposite gender.) Good luck!
