Has anyone seena timeline plugin that would allow someone to drop social events such as employment, spouses, cars owned, places lived?

These would be categories to posts, but the standard category view does not allow someone to "fill in the missing pieces" which blogging opens up. A Wiki equivilant would be for someone to post stubs of things above and then back fill them in as completed, or something pops into memory to complete the information.

Example - Got latest pictures form the breeder in email a few minutes ago. O can think of the pets we have had over the years, since we pick up our new dog in January from the breeder. I dont remember their names or exact time frames, but having some timelines would let me fill in the stubs or take those stubs into details.

And of course Happy Holidays to all.

I did this once myself in a table...crude and cheesie, but it worked. Not fun to maintain once setup... :(

There's an awesome AJAXy timeline thing from MIT's Simile project... http://simile.mit.edu/timeline/

It may be helpful if you are going to write a timeline plugin.

there already is a timeline plugin, have been using the previous version for quite a while, but since the new verson is out I had some problems, still working on it.
