 * Dears,
 * We are currently using our own custom plugin for our timeline (ACF based).
 * We consider switching to the timeline-block which sounds really great.
 * But after further investigation, it seems that the Gutenberg block is not provided
   with its source code (only a compiled version `includes/cool-timeline-block/dist/
   blocks.build.js` is).
 * It’s a blocking factor (without the source code we could not do any patch or 
   derivative template).
    Still, since the project is mentioning the GPLv2 or later
   for its source code, could you please add the source code of all compiled assets
   as part of the SVN repository?
 * Thank you!
