Basic Rules
1. The timeline will go month by month, with the goal of covering as many days as possible. We are aiming for this to be one of the most comprehensive collaborative timelines ever, so I’d love to see this packed full of detail.

2. Due to the detailed nature of the timeline, there will be days when multiple events occur. The formatting of the timeline will be conducive to this. I’d prefer to see as many detailed entries that don’t end in “…” as possible. We will go one month at a time.

3. One thing that a lot of these past projects lack is pictures – feel free to include them, but remember that forum rules limit posters to three images a day. Try and keep the size of the image limited as to avoid stretching the page.

4. Elections are tricky; therefore, results of major elections in ATL – such as UK General Elections or US presidential races – will be determined by consensus after weighing what events have transpired and how they’d affect the timeline's politics. I will not consider any posts that contain election related items until we've reached the actual election period.

5. Finally, @Addemup and I will retain veto power just to ensure the project stays on a realistic path, but all decisions will be made with the input of our contributors.

So, with that in mind, here we go! Anyone/Everyone is welcome to make a contribution. Up first is the month of February 1960. Once the month has been filled out, we'll move on to the next one.
