Crowdsourcing the Timeline

Bob, do we want the Reality Quake to be an actual event or simply the existence of a probabilistic divergence?

Well.  I don't want to contradict published material, so I'm going to have to say it's an actual event.  However, since I'm going to be writing this from the point of view of inside the timeline, after the quake, it may not be that anyone is even aware of it save for a few persons with appropriate powers.  Governments might know that something occurred, but not quite what, thanks to their own supers and sources, but most anyone else who knew of the The Wall probably considers it the way most people think of the Y2K scare.
Come to think of it, that's probably the best way to handle it.  We'll define the timeline without explicitly including either The Wall or the Quake.  And I'll put in a box entitled "What About...?" and explain that this is way the world shook out afterwards.  That way no one needs either the PDF or Y2K.
