I'm glad you like it. As for similarity, when importing GEDCOMs, a similar record warning appear, but this doesn't happen normally. I think if you are doing it manually you are supposed to search for similar records yourself. Perhaps I could ask Baya, the site's creator, about the possiblity of a similarity warning when editing manually. (I am posting to the list rather than him because his English is not terribly good).
What do you think about the possibility of it becoming a Wikimedia project?

This is probably one of the better genealogy wikis I've seen, particularly because it supports GEDCOM import, which saves quite a bit of time. My main problem is how the software can help people figure out that two separate users' family trees are connected at some point; some sort of similarity-ranking system needs to be created (if it hasn't already) which would instruct users to merge pages that have more than N items in common (name, date of birth, location, marriage, children, etc).

I have not yet recived any real reply about this project. I would like to hear from someone whether it could actually become a wikimedia project,
and
what would need to happen before it could. Any comments would be
apreciated.
