[KimDaBa] timelines - ideas needed

[Jesper K. Pedersen]

I'll try once again.
Can we get ambition up here. DREAM MODE ON!

Here is an example:
I'd like a line where I could see samples from each period and how many images 
was in that period. A period could be a day, a week, a year, 12 days, what 
ever (some fancy way of dragging the mouse to zoom in out).

Just hit me with the best you could dream of, and I'll scale it down 
afterwards to something doable in KimDaBa with my work load etc.
In other words, it is your jobs to dream now, and my job to convert those 
dreams into something that is doable.

Cheers
Jesper.
