Okay, before this spirals off into another RP chat thread, let's take stock.
So we're moving the timeline up to 2022, what OTL stuff have we already added to the timeline, and what do we want to add to the timeline? We've established that the 2008 mini-depression and the 2010-current Arab Spring have at least started like they did OTL. How much more Fen involvement do we want in either of those? We've had Fen involvement in Libya, do we continue down this vein and have Fen meddle in Syria?
Do we want Obama in the White House (2013-17/21 depending, since the '08 election goes to Giuliani)? Would we rather not have Obama and give the job to somebody else (and let's be clear, it ain't going to be Giuliani again)?
I suppose another question is how trivial do we want the stuff on the timeline? The current version on the wiki has a lot of stuff that's moderately important for certain characters but only for those characters (also it needs a serious spring cleaning since nobody's bothered to update the thing since the dokuwiki days, IIRC). We can go long and trivial, or we can go shorter and more relevant to the broad scope of history.
