Midcontinuum / Median Timeline

confusing_nebulaHello. I am working on a research project to try and create a timeline for midcontinuum / median. I am making this because I would like median history (broadly speaking!) to be more accessible, as we (nebula I am part of) identify as median. As you might imagine, this is difficult in terms of scope. These terms encompass / contain a wide variety of experiences.
I am not very far into this project as I do not front much. I don't want to reveal the name I use, and generally do not like to be visible externally, but I figured this was necessary to look for information from a knowledge base with far more reach than we have alone as we are fairly new to plurality as a whole (although not completely new) and probably have gaps that need to be filled.
I have gone through LB Lee's Many-Selved source dump which has important early dates such as the first usage of the term "midcontinuum" and its subsequent arbitrary (in my personal opinion) renaming to "median." I am looking for more things for the timeline which I assume will be difficult and will involve tracking down the origins of various things / claims about being median (I am too tired to go into this right now, I am aware it is vague). Although I am re-evaluating this currently and about what things I would put on a timeline.
Anyway, I was wondering mainly if anyone knows if there is an already existing version of a Median timeline? I haven't come across any personally. Additionally any input about this (would you find this helpful or useful? would this be helpful or useful to newcomers?).
I also have a future idea in mind for creating some sort of archive or repository for median experiences but that is a different project.
