Playback a map over a time series (like http://haiti.ushahidi.com/main).

Incorporate a manual slider & a 'Play' button.

This should work with both external WMS sources & internal Feature layers (tieing into [wiki:S3Tracking S3Tracking] and showing Projects with start/end dates).

Ideally the slider would be based on jQueryUI, as we use this widget already & it will be familiar to people:
* http://jqueryui.com/slider/#range

GXP Widget could be a good approach:
* https://github.com/opengeo/gxp/blob/master/src/script/plugins/Timeline.js
* https://github.com/opengeo/gxp/blob/master/src/script/plugins/TimelineLayers.js
* Example Usage:
 * https://github.com/opengeo/gxp/blob/master/examples/time-viewer.html
 * https://github.com/opengeo/gxp/blob/master/examples/time-viewer.js

This uses !OpenLayers support from this repo:
* https://github.com/mpriour/TimeManager_OpenLayers-Addin


Old, alternative !OpenLayers support notes:
* http://trac.openlayers.org/ticket/1395
* http://trac.osgeo.org/openlayers/wiki/Addins/TimedPointTrack
