TIMELINE: make it easier to use offline

[GoogleCodeExporter]

The API should be easier to make available offline or to be hosted on a
different server, because your argument that it's like Google Maps is quite
invalid; Google Maps depends on the massive database of images representing
the satellite and roadmaps that can't be downloaded and rightly belongs on
Google servers, whereas this is just an API that should be available in an
"offline mode".

As a real life example, I needed to use Exhibit to quickly access data in a
meeting where I knew I won't have internet connectivity, so I had to hack
it a bit so the browser can get all the scripts from the file:// URL.

Thanks for a good product!

I agree completely - could you post your hack for timeline?

I've added additional documentation in the timeline-api file to better document 
how 
the js library can be served up by a local or private web server. I've also 
created 
the "local-example" which demonstrates how to load a local data file if you 
have the 
internet available but want a local data file without a local server.
