 +
I am trying to go back through my sandboxes and todos.
 +
 
 +
I started the ReleaseTimeline as a tool for myself, at least, to get the time perspectives clearer.
 +
 
 +
I also had the idea of the table being useful enough to be included in the wiki somewhere.
 +
 
 +
I thought maybe it could be added to [[Team Fortress Wiki]] or ''[[Team Fortress 2]]'', but neither seem a good fit.
 +
 
 +
Maybe it would work to set it up as a collapsed table template to be included with the Nav Boxes on certain pages.
 +
 
 +
Feel free to comment or contribute, but the point is not to deatail the patches to every single update, just those that added something really new or changed the game.

I am trying to go back through my sandboxes and todos.

I started the ReleaseTimeline as a tool for myself, at least, to get the time perspectives clearer.

I also had the idea of the table being useful enough to be included in the wiki somewhere.

I thought maybe it could be added to Team Fortress Wiki or Team Fortress 2, but neither seem a good fit.

Maybe it would work to set it up as a collapsed table template to be included with the Nav Boxes on certain pages.

Feel free to comment or contribute, but the point is not to deatail the patches to every single update, just those that added something really new or changed the game.
