This is Sebastián Sánchez. I work for Vipul Naik as content creator. See contributions. A diary with notes is being written in User:Sebastian/notes. Promotion of the timelines can be consulted at Timelineswiki promotion. Also check Detail construction for full timeline in timelines, Inclusion criteria for full timeline in timelines, Representativeness of events in timelines, Visual and numerical data in timelines, and Review process for timelines.

Suggested time-sensitive content
With time-sensitive content, the idea may be to add a few additional important recent events to a timeline, without doing a systematic expansion. So, there may be holes in coverage. The "focused coverage period" banner on top can help to clarify the situation.
For instance, let's say you last expanded a timeline in March 2019, and it covers content till March 2019. You want to add a couple of significant events in 2020. You can do so, and keep the focused coverage period as March 2019. So readers get the information that the coverage after March 2019 will be only partial, and less complete than coverage until March 2019.
In some cases you may decide to do a more complete expansion while adding time-sensitive content, but this should be done only if time and mood permit.
- Timeline of online food delivery (one of the most viewed timelines):
- COVID-19 has probably boosted online food delivery a lot? This may deserve a mention.✔
- DoorDash IPO (filed for one on November 13, IPO date still unclear)✘
- Sebastian: It filed confidentially on February 27, 2020, but maybe we should wait until it becomes effective, as it remains private as of date.
- Sebastian: let me further expand
- Timeline of Salesforce and timeline of Slack: Add the definitive agreement by Salesforce to acquire Slack! (requested December 7, 2020)✔ (Sebastian: let me further expand)
- Timeline of GiveWell: Add 2020 top charities (requested December 7, 2020); btw, I (Vipul) am okay with doing a more complete incremental expansion which might only include a couple of additional rows, but just adding top charities is fine.
- Timeline of brain preservation: Add Hope Frozen Netflix documentary and its inspiring event.
