After a long battle with cancer, comic book artist Micheal Turner passed away on Friday night in Santa Monica, California. The 37-year-old artist, who was discovered by Image founder Marc Silvestri in 1998, co-created Witchblade before leaving Top Cow to form his own publishing company, Aspen MLT. While still producing his creator-owned titles Fathom and Soulfire, Turner quickly became one of the most recognizable and in-demand cover artists, providing memorable work for DC Comics' Identity Crisis, Marvel's Civil War and numerous other landmark issues and titles, including next month's Uncanny X-Men #500.

I was considering to make an attempt to document (some parts of) world history, and was wondering what kind of software would be the most suitable for such a task. I'm assuming it would need at least features like timeline's with the option to mark significant historical areas or occurrences, document some genealogy, and list biographies of important historian figures. But even issues like economics, sociology, politics, psychology, anthropology, philosophy and linguistics come into play when dealing with historiography, as does the ability to include or reference sources. So far, I have been unable to find any software (open source or otherwise) that would be suitable for such a task. Also, this got me wondering about the existence of any kind of specialized software that is used by actual historians ?
