Sounds good to me except that a "Commmodore" timeline should mean not only 8 bit but "all" Commodore computers - ie Amiga, MS-DOS (and the 900 if it can be found).
And to take it to the next logical step - if a timeline is to have a beginning then the start would be typewriters, calculators, watches and maybe some furniture thrown in.
The next question is - where would it all go? Ernie Leif Bloomquist wrote:

I would love to see one entire wall of the show devoted to a Commodore computers timeline. i.e. start with a KIM on one end...with a working model of every Commodore machine ever made (including rare/prototype ones) along the wall on tables, in chronological order, with a small poster above each one explaining what it is. At the other end it would conclude with a 64DTV. We could debate whether to keep it 8-bit or to include Amigas/PC clones. Does this line up with your idea? -Leif
