I agree with you, Guns. We need a community timeline. Badly.

But, not to the offense of anybody, I think people are being detracted from working on timelines by the stressing of perfection on this wiki. Yes, there's an overall need for plausibility, but things shouldn't straddle too close to OTL-I mean, It's Alternate history! Having people completely bashing creative ideas causes disinterest, and anger too. Think of it this way-some of Harry Turtledove's greatest works have very ASB ideas, like extraterrestrial life, involved, yet they are "featured AH".

Not saying we should just give the dog a bone, I think we just need to be a little more open-minded. Anything is possible. I propose we create a featured timelines section for timelines considered ASB, for the most probable and the most well-written, based on genre, such as Alternate Evolution, Alternate Technology, Alternate Geography, and Space..
