Description
The single column in the Timeline view is limiting. I'd like to see the Timeline view get a new preference option for controlling the number of visible columns of events - especially in light of the industry-wide movement to widescreen displays. I've hacked-up a timeline-based module which does this, but my preference would be for a polished implementation by the Trac team.
- The preference box moves to top of timeline @ 100% width instead of pseudo-dialog-box in upper right which eclipses usable real estate.
 - preference option for N equal width columns
 - either automatic based on available width or manual preference for format=brief option (think format=rss) which drops unnecessary words like "Changeset", "Ticket", etc.
 
I've attached a screenshot of my hacked plugin which offers no gui preference controls. Maybe if I have time I will get back to trying to understand more Python/CS/Trac development - but this is working for me at the moment.

Clearly this could be done as an external plugin… but that seems like a lot of unnecessary duplication for adding multiples columns. I feel this is very similar to one of my older patch offerings #510 which created a second (and now default) viewing option (after incorporation/reimplementation by cmlenz). I am only proposing more flexibility for the timeline view.

would be even nicer if multi-column layout capability could be extended to *any* trac page using wiki markup. (eg. wiki page, tickets, etc)

Hi,
How do I add some information/events by sql-syntax or authors-specific to the timeline view? Thanks a lot.

This is an interesting idea, but is definitely not going in 0.11.
