Anyone (namely me) who *voluntarily* signs up to do a panel that deals with timelines for Doctor Who/Torchwood and Captain Jack? Should really have their head examined.
I need Advil. Or Retcon.

GAH! Don't say time right now. I have to figure out how to do a freakin' timeline with three Captain Jacks in 1941! BAH! Plus there's the whole Canon vs. Website Canon distinctions.
The timeline wouldn't be so bad if I were doing it for *just* the institute, but I want to do them for the TW characters as well. (I wouldn't touch DW character timelines for a million bucks at this point.)
It's very difficult to be a linear thinker with this sort of thing.
I shall ponder Jack/Jack/Jack porn with a side of Ianto for awhile instead. *g*
You'll do great. You have lots of friends there and it is an interesting topic. One thing I like is panels where the moderator asks the audience questions to get them involved and get them to do the talking for her.
I really want to use the timeline as a reference for folks and then get people to give their thoughts on the staff and backgrounds. I'm hoping it will be an interesting conversation.
Though, I just realized that there may be folks who haven't seen the final 4 eps of Torchwood yet. I'll have to ask around to see if folks mind being spoiled for those.
i sing that song to many of the people who work with me... not so ironic, and more than a little random.
as for Timelines... geese, sometimes i stop to think about the loop-de-loops of it all, then wish that i hadn't cause it creates 1232454 questions that i really don't wanna ask (cause i'd sound so totally obsessed... which, obviously, i'm not!). don't envy you, but i wish ya luck, 'n' nekkid Jacks and stuff! <3
It's Jack's timeline that tends to get my brain all screwed up. Even when they do the flashbacks I have to stop and think, is that pre-Doctor Jack or post-Sattelite Jack?
I'll just think about the pretty and nekkid for now.
I was watching Boomtown the other day and it struck me that the info office entrance wasn't there yet... which made me wonder what did Jack do this time round? He's got himself in a loop, did it play out different? Er, confused again now. Sorry. :P

I have a feeling a timeline chart would have so many lines and arrows looping around, they'd end up tying a knot. ;)
