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).

hear from someone whether it could actually become a wikimedia project,

what would need to happen before it could. Any
comments would be
apreciated.
