Let's see here...replying to multiple posts at once to save space...
1) Hi Trond! Thanks for joining in - it's very helpful having the creator of the website on hand to discuss this stuff.
2) Re the pain points/desired enhancements in the existing website - addressing this to all the folks here (or who can come here) that have raised issues leading to this thread - it sounds like it would be helpful to compile a list of these so we can provide Trond a concise description of the 'problems we are wanting to solve'. It might work better to discuss/compile that in the Discord and/or via forum DM to myself/other editors and admins and then bring the finished product here so it isn't spread across multiple posts in this thread. Perhaps we could agree on a due date for it to be posted here in that case?
3) Re the way the timeline works in the EG - The 30-some primary timeline pages I mentioned above are just EG topic pages that contain long lists of manually entered dates/events. The scrollable timeline (IIRC) is a self-contained software package/construct that we found and acquired some years ago and that Trond set up for us, including creating an editor interface section in our existing Content Management System. Unfortunately, after the initial load up we haven't maintained it as well as we should.
Hope this helps,
Todd
