I understand the interest in creating a collaborative genealogical site. The question I have is what kind of data standard would be supported? GEDCOM is widely supported, but is biased toward a specific religious viewpoint of what a family *is*, and how relationships can be described.
Are people aware of software like WebTrees[1], which allows many people to work on shared family trees? I am not sure how scalable it would be for a single world family tree. I have been running an instance of it for a few years now, and it seems reasonably stable, but there are some issues with the transportability of media assets (scans of documents, photos, etc.) requiring manual backup.
What other kinds of software and data have been used by people in the project? What kind of data product does the project envision?
