Talk:History of the Powerhouse Museum

Graphics
Maybe a pictorial timeline of the growth Museum's collection, listing major acquisitions? Then again, an illustration would be difficult to update. Perhaps start with a simple table and once it has stood the test of time, and proven to be comprehensive, turn it into an illustration?

Maybe, as a project, Wikipedia needs a piece of software to automate the generation of timelines? Give it a list of headings, dates and pictures and it spits out a timeline in SVG format? On doing a little background reading this might even be a solved problem since SIMILE (with which I am not familiar) claims to generate timelines from an XML file? The SIMILE website has a cool demo.
