Default Help make WWII Timelines anyone?

I posted a thread introducing myself in the...introduction area, but since it's technically a project and I'm requesting information, I figured it couldn't hurt to start a thread here too.

I'm interning at a site called Timelines.com and we need more info on WWII. Eventually we're going to have a graphical timeline that you can scroll through almost akin to Google Maps, but just about historical info and current events. We launched in April, and since then we've been trying to add as much content to the site as possible to give people an idea of what to add as content. Eventually, also, you're going to be able to have your own profile and a timeline that just includes events you've contributed (maybe a leaderboard too...who knows!). We're desperately lacking all sorts of historical information, but if anyone here would be interested in contributing to our WWII section, we would greatly appreciate the help. Think wikipedia: we're not out for money, just to provide people with a great new database of history.

Anyway, thanks for your time, and let me know if you have any problems, questions, concerns, or if you think I'm being a spammer moron. I'm open to any criticism or advice. Thanks a lot again!
