This is awesome! Man, really amazing to see how linux has spawned an entire forest of different lineages. Wow!

This makes me wonder: 1) Does Wikipedia / Wiki* not have a JS pan & zoom tool for graphics like these and 2) Has no one else made something like that just for this graphic? Asking because the graphical linux genealogy concept / this illustration have been around for a while, as have JS pan & zoom plugins, and it's totally worth having something like this in that format.[1] Edit: OK, there is Gadget-ZoomViewer (below), but maybe it doesn't work for SVGs? I don't see the option to open ZoomViewer from the Commons image page for this image. https://zoomviewer.toolforge.org/index.php?f=Quaternary_Geologic_Map_Minnesota.jpg&flash=no https://zoomviewer.toolforge.org/index.php?f=Quaternary_Geol... https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Gadget-ZoomViewer https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Gadget-ZoomViewer 1. See "Expand" tool here: https://digitalcollections.lib.washington.edu/digital/collection/ac/id/1009 https://digitalcollections.lib.washington.edu/digital/collec...

  What you're asking for should ideally be supplied by your Web browser, not by Wikipedia.
  - resonious 4y ago
    Right, I had no problem zooming and panning on Firefox.

  Next you’re going to ask for JS scroll bars…

Does Wikipedia have diffs for the stanzas of svg xml? This is quite a bit of work. I'm sure there's many contributors
- input_sh 4y ago
  Not sure you can find diffs, but this is the repository that builds that svg in case you wanna poke around: https://github.com/FabioLolix/LinuxTimeline https://github.com/FabioLolix/LinuxTimeline

Yggdrasil was seriously badass, first live-CD, overlay filesystem and much more. Details and video of what was my first Linux distrib: https://retrocomputingforum.com/t/yggdrasil-first-live-linux-cdrom-1993-4/2678 https://retrocomputingforum.com/t/yggdrasil-first-live-linux...

I come back to this timeline every once in a while, the timeline of web browsers [1] is equally good. [1] https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/74/Timeline_of_web_browsers.svg https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/74/Timeline...

After looking at git commit trees for a while It seems clear to me that there is a glaring deficiency with this linux distros. No Merges!
