Hi! I'm not quite sure if history2 is a good starting point. In whole 
timeline is missing one important part: create database/relation schema 
(or whatever would be used) and how messages would be stored/serialized 
into storage. This needs to be designed as a first part, because whole 
implementation depends on it. Also incorrect db schema would mean wrong 
performance and unusability. In timeline is also missing time for 
writing conversion from existing XML plugin to the new one.

PS: In future please send timeline or other documents to mailing list 
(plain text is enough), not some external link which does not have to 
work without internet connection.
