The World at War

The Timelines-Project

Timelines

Since the start of our WorldAtWar-website in 1998 timelines of events outside of the global mainstream formed an important backbone of content. The bulk of these contributions were made by Richard Doody, whose diligence and acribie in researching areas that most would deem esoteric is unsurpassed. I wish we could have done more for him back then. However, times have changed.

We are now working on a gateway that will make the creation of historic timelines as easy as working with wikipedia or blogs. At the start this will be rather rudimentary, with text files running in to create nice html-pages. In the second stage, we will include the option to include or edit single entries using a webgateway. The third stage will see user-accounts in which a timeline-admin can set rights to change or create sub-timelines.

Good intentions are one thing, working stuff is another. I am glad that we are now able to offer you access to stage one. Administration access at this stage will only be given to known contributors - please go to our forum if you hear the call...
