Hi all,
Should we set up a demonstration wiki?
I'm thinking it might be good to have a wiki to experiment with different
things, such as software requirements. I have been tinkering on a Genealogy
extension, — it's super-basic and doesn't do much. (That's by design, really,
because I didn't want to build features such as citation management or image
handling that are not specific to genealogy.
It's probably not a place to put permanent information (although it could be
that too), but we could install MediaWiki at
https://tools.wmflabs.org/genealogy/wiki and start experimenting with things
there. Does that sound like a worthwhile thing?
My current aim is to get the Genealogy extension to support Wikidata. It'd be
good to have a place to demonstrate and figure out how this could work.
Thanks,
Sam.
Familypedia's form is fairly simple. See
http://familypedia.wikia.com/wiki/Form:Person
Names, dates, places, sources, and notes all have labelled fields (boxes),
and you can tab from one to the next or use scroll bars to jump.
Data for first and second marriages and children from first marriage - for
higher-number marriage and children data, you need ordinary wiki-editing
after the individual's page is created with the form.
Siblings can be entered manually but can later appear automatically once one
of the parents has a separate page showing them as children.

Dear members of Wikimedia Genealogy, first I want to greet you all welcome
to this email list. We are so far only ten members, which is not a very
impressing number, but instead of passively waiting for more users to join
us, I thought that we may just as well start using the mail list.
I hope it may serve as an effective communication tool for us, to discuss
the next step, which I think is establishing a user group on Meta, see
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Wikimedia_genealogy_project#Wikimedia_…
I would be very interested to get everyone's viewpoint and suggestion for
some sort of strategy action plan in how you think we should progress, and
how we can attract more users involved already from the beginning.
With those words of introduction, I look forward to feedback from everyone,
even just a couple of words would be great, just to get a start where
everyone feels involved. If someone wants to share more in-deep thoughts,
that may be even more important, so we can get an insight in each others
expectations, visions and so on. One important question when we should take
the step and create the user group?
And an important issue, there are Genealogy interested users on dewiki and
frwiki. Im afraid we haven't reached those users with the meta page, and
the newsletters Is anyone engaged in those language wikis, and have an idea
how we can invite them to get involved and organize all different projects
under one umbrella, or at least establish an organized communication bridge?
I believe that a large number of those users never take any part in enwiki
and meta.
Once again, warmly welcome to the mail list, which, from the moment you
write a reply, becomes YOUR mail list.
