The SpaceFlightNow website site has plenty of data including timeline coverage that does not need to be refreshed. eg:
CONTACT AND CAPTURE! Space shuttle Discovery has docked to the International Space Station on the 25th anniversary of its first launch into orbit. The shuttle has arrived at the station for delivery of new science hardware and supplies.The relative motions of the shuttle and station will be allowed to damp out over the next few minutes by the spring-loaded docking system. Later, the hooks and latches will be closed to firmly join the two craft and Discovery’s Orbiter Docking System docking ring will be retracted to form a tight seal.
The opening of hatches between the station and shuttle is expected in about two hours. That will be followed by a welcoming ceremony and safety briefing.
Discovery is closing at about 0.1 feet per second. Current distance now 26 feet.
