I bought the New Millenium version of SYWTBAW last week and thought I'd have a stab at updating PM's timeline with the new dates. I'll only go as far as the end of SYWTBAW with the updated dates, presuming that DD will continue with the NMEs - I think DW and HW are both pretty sticky timeline-wise so it's not too easy to extrapolate from SYWTBAW alone. Please do read the notes on PM's timeline which I have more or less replicated wholesale as they include credits for people who contributed to its original construction.
I haven't updated any of the historical dates. For some birthdays that are derived from ages given in later books I have guessed that the entire series will have taken place over no more than 3 years (leaving the Holiday-War-Mars to take place in spring-summer 2011 - slightly ahead of Mars's 2010 publication date: gosh, I can't believe that's two years old!) Where I felt it necessary to leave notes I have italicised; all text is otherwise PM's.
SYWTBAW takes place over a calendar week in May 2008. I believe PM determined the dates for this week based on a date given in one of the modern editions of DW, which I can't do because the DW NME isn't out yet; I located the date of the May 2008 full moon (Tuesday 20th, meaning the moon is actually waning when Liused gives Nita a rowan branch ... but that's being rather picky), which happens to match the 2005 dates PM had. If you really need the moon to be waxing (for which I have some sympathy narratively speaking) you could pick the whole lot up and move it earlier by a week. Also there are a whole lot of busted links to the Errantry Concordance in there that I am way too lazy to go through and fix. Sorry about that.
( Away we go! )
Well, that was fun.
