Fascinating historical site

[Logan Merrill]

Have any of you had a look at the online library of historical hypotheses
that LinguistList is building?
The weird thing is I've never seen it advertised anywhere:  LL seems to be
sort of keeping it a secret.
I stumbled across it in Google, and it really has the most amazing interface
I've ever seen for
displaying family trees.  I couldn't stop playing with it.  It looks like
it's part of an NSF project,
and it's far from finished, but they have hundreds of trees in it already,
and apparently the aim is to
have every single tree-based hypothesis in the database eventually, even
those we all love to hate.
That's a pretty ambitious project.  The interface is at the URL:

http://linguistlist.org/multitree/

Don't forget to click on options in the upper right corner.  It's fun!

Logan.
