Santa vaca! That thing is amazing – and it’s open source and free…amazing. I wish I had time (and the creativity) for writing these types of controls.

Oh wow, this is simply awesome. Seems to have a slight problem when scrolling, the whole pane can become easily highlighted, but otherwise it’s the dogs!

Came just in the neck of time! One of the best open source project I’ve seen in a LONG time.

Honestly, we need more projects like these in our open source community!
I really respect these guys for sharing and if I ever get to create any useful projects, I will make sure I donate them back to the community as well.

A masterpiece for sure!

Am i the only one who finds this piece of technology kind of cool, but still not visually easy enough to read?

“AJAXy”? Well at least they don’t say “DHTMLy,” though the latter might be more technically applicable. ;)

The presentation is well-done, despite a few quirky “sticky” issues with scrolling (if the mouse hits a text node while dragging, the scroll stops working or highlights a bunch of text in IE.) Overall, nicely done though!

Just to be precise, the name of the software is “Timeline”, SIMILE (not Similie) is the name of the project that implemented it.

A definite ajax masterpiece. Simple, fast and XML based. Great for event and time tracking. It might be interesting to synchronize the XML namespace with the xCal specifications (example) - it's a little more talkative, but it would ease the transition between formats. A job well done!
