Very neat. There are no examples for parsing times instead of just dates that I can see (but it appears VMM.Util.parseDate supports it). Something like a timeline for server monitoring data would be a good use of this. Also, I would hope for a little more commercially friendly license for a library like this instead of the GPL.

Exactly what I was thinking. Can't wait to plug this into our custom Opsview (nagios) pages :D

Building something simalaar to this was the only good idea I'd been harboring forna while now, but it will be interesting to see the feedback. I couldn't figure out how flexible to make it or what features to support, or if it should accept a file-based data structure for those not wanting to program an api. I guess I don't really know the audience.

GPLv3 is quite limiting for a JS library. The source file[1] also has no license in the header, just a copyright. [1] http://veritetimeline.appspot.com/latest/timeline-min.js

Could you explain why?

I've never been able to find a conclusive answer on GPL applied to Javascript
