Timeline Project Comments

I have implemented a comment stream for each data point in the system. There is still a long list to todos and probably a longer list of bugs, but I feel like I am making some progress:

• I need to a better job of filtering datapoints in the page. Rather than doing a reload from the right hand tag menu.
• I need to scroll the timeline to a data point based on the id.
• I would like the ability to flag data points as offensive,inaccurate. I would like the entry page for each data point to reflect the number of flags.
• I would like to create user badges/achievements based on what the user does in the system. This inspired by the X-Box achievements system via StackOverflow.
• I realised today that it would be handy to do a GeoCoding request based on a city name typed into the edit/create entry forms. I often found myself doing a search on wikipedia, going to the geocoding page and then copy/pasting the latitude, longitude. This could mostly be automated in the form.
• I have clarified the tags for each data point, but they are still not perfect. I need to remove the theater option for The Napoleonic Wars. I also should get rid of the War, it is not really useful.
• I need to clean up the info window dialogs on the map. They are ugly at the moment and they need links to the edit page and discuss page.
• Check out the details for licensing the data as CC WIKI.
