Genealogy research with Gramps

There are certainly other ways of doing genealogy research on Linux than with Gramps. When my old Windows computer died in 2005, and my genealogy program at the time refused to run under Wine, I had to look for other alternatives. I tried Gramps for maybe half an hour, and quickly decided that I'd better write my own software. As I already had a working export routine from The Master Genealogist, the Windows program that I used, and a working Web presentation of the data, it wasn't that hard.

The project currently lives in http://code.google.com/p/yggdrasil-genealogy/ for those who want to have a look. The licence is meant to be BSD style.

The intersection of people interested in genealogy, Linux, PostgreSQL and PHP scripting appears extremely small. When you add to that an explicit distaste for the US-centric GEDCOM "standard" (which has been effectively dead for almost twenty years), you seem to chase away the remaining few. However, I like my program and have been using it exclusively since 2005. I'll appreciate any comments and discussion, just write to leif at solumslekt dot org.
