Here’s a question some of our lawyer readers may be able to help with — but software developers and others may have good suggestions too.
As regular readers know, we’ve spent a decent amount of time this last year putting together timelines of key events and stories, often with reader participation. As we build toward launching TPMmuckraker.com we’re looking for ways to put these projects together in a more organized and graphically intuitive way.
Now, I know that there is software designed primarily for litigators who want to use graphically intuitive timelines in their courtroom presentations. So that’s one source of software we might be able to use to put information together in a more user-friendly way than just a straight vertical list of events in chronological order. I know there are other niche software tools available that do similar sorts of things as well.
So if you’ve worked with any of these programs or tools of whatever sort, can you drop us a line? Let us know how well you think the tool worked, whether it produces timelines that might be useful for us as we create various scandal and event timelines at TPMmuckraker.com. Thanks in advance for your help.
