[ddj] Interactive timeline tools

Thu Aug 1 10:14:28 UTC 2013

Alison,

You are welcome to use our application we built around timeline.js. It is a
rails app, but has a nice form to add events, handles multiple
languages/localizations, has categories and tagging, and stores the media
that timeline.js uses so if in the future the source disappears, your app
won't lose the images.
