[Foundation-l] Rodovid.org, family tree wiki, wishes to become a wiki project

[Benjamin Webb]

Angela,

I'd noticed that you'd menationed the specialised software on wikitree.org,
I'd just be intereseted to know what you think about the specialised
software of Rodovid <http://rodovid.org> and what you, as someone high up
the the foundation, think about it becoming a foundation project.

Thanks,
Benjamin Webb
