Re: [jopr-dev] request for comments - timeline view

i still like the separate tab idea better. i want to emphasize again that the timeline view isn't just events, it's for display data from multiple subsystems simultaneously. the timeline view didn't feel right when it lived as a child under the monitor tab, and i guess it doesn't feel right living as a child under the events tab either. svn up and take a look at the resource browser; it's much cleaner right now. since only a few resources actually implement the event facet, the 'e' icon doesn't show up very often, which is a huge benefit to the "mica" icons in the first place. how about an entirely different strategy. greg, you know how we were thinking of mimicking the embedded console by providing a landing page. why don't we have a "Summary" tab that provides quick info about the resource, but where the timeline view will also live. this way, we'll 1) have consistent navigation for subcategories (and subsubcategories) because their default click action from the nav tree would hit this new summary tab, and 2) we'll have a perfect spot for the timeline page which due to the fact that it encompasses data from all different subsystems is a rather good fit for a summary view.
