It's quite typical to do that with big days of action, no? So i don't
really understand your objection and, tbh, i'm a bit pissed off given the
amount of work people have put into this, the fact that it's one of the
most successful campaigns in this country, and that it is very likely that
there will be a lot of repression, arrests etc.

I think he meant a minute-by-minute timeline, which could be highlighted
in the startpage special. Again, it is typical to do that on days of
action and was done for the same event last June.
