Thank you again for continuing your support, what a year it's been so far! So much happening all time and I continue to be here to follow it all and report on it.
Some plans for September:
More work on our upcoming and long delayed Linux Gaming Timeline page. This one needs some more thinking on, plus I need your feedback. I'm torn between a page that lists everything or one that loads in more with JavaScript as you scroll. Part of the problem is that it might get pretty darn long, what are your thoughts?
Additionally, we're going to do a small style change to links inside articles on GOL soon to make them a bit easier to spot. Came up against [a bug](https://github.com/ckeditor/ckeditor-dev/issues/3389) in the editor we use (CKEditor) which is preventing adding a class style to links at the moment, so have to wait for it to be fixed. The developers have confirmed my issue and two bugs that cause it, so hopefully it can be solved sometime soon.
If you didn't already know we also have a [Twitch Channel](https://www.twitch.tv/gamingonlinux), where Sin dedicates her time to showing off Linux gaming multiple times a week. Something I've actually noticed, is that we've seen a good number of people try out Linux and come back to chat about it after watching Sin livestream how easy it is and how things work. So livestreaming regularly is actually surprisingly helpful to the wider community and how Linux looks to an entirely different audience.
As always, the inbox is always open. If you want to have a chat or if something has been missed, email direct at [email protected].
Ps. I was also a guest on the Linux For Everyone podcast again recently for [episode 6](https://linuxforeveryone.fireside.fm/6-linux-laptops-gnome-boxes-backup-retroarch).

Regarding the timeline, I'd prefer the first option, e.g. an interactive text-based vertical* timeline which loads all at once, and then uses AJAX to expand on events when the user clicks on something, maybe using parallax scrolling techniques to have the background change to a relevant screenshot. I'm not a fan of dynamic/expanding scrollables -- if I use a keyboard shortcut or mouse gesture to immediately scroll to the bottom of the page, it should take me to the bottom of the page, not the bottom of the currently loaded content.
* Horizontal scrolling on websites is Wrong.
