Ken Han Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 (edited) Has Dr. J done a detailed screencast on the Timeline feature? I think Timeline is one of Accordance's most underappreciated features. For example, I think Timeline has the potential to be a great research tool for students of church history / historical theology. To that end, what if: 1. Let Timeline automatically read the copyright data from all installed modules and place them on a new layer. For bible texts, modules, journal articles, tools, or for even user created modules, this could be a handy tool for studying the development of themes and subjects. 2. I think there is a cut off point at year 2000. Can we remove this? 3. Could we subscribe/share with other Accordance users custom layers / entries to Timeline? It may prove very handy for a group of people working / researching certain historical events together. Just some thoughts.

Martin Smith Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 I agree. For example it would be helpful to link timeline into church/denominational/Jewish trees, branches of theology, worship forms, etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timothy Jenney Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 Interesting idea! Now, I haven't done a podcast on the Timeline, though I have on the Graphics package as a whole. I'd have to bone up on things like user layers and user events, though. I know we've had some internal discussions about updating the Timeline database to include more intertestamental events and some church history material. However, I think that is pretty much on the backburner for a while, as we work to complete some other projects. That doesn't mean it won't happen, but I suspect most of our users would like to see Accordance for Windows out and further updates to the iOS app more.

Michael Eppley Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 I for one would love to have not just church history but world history integrated. That would be awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Steffens Jr Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 I'd also love to see timeline contents further expanded! Randy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
