That looks good too, and I've no opinion on whether Rodovid or
Wikitree is using a better approach. Perhaps there are aspects of each
that should be included. I'm also wondering whether Wikidata will fit
into this somehow, or whether the structure you're using on Rodovid
replaces that.

The last time a genealogy wiki was seriously proposed as a Wikimedia
project, there was little interest, and few answers to the questions I
asked at <http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Wikipeople>.  What
software to use and what to do with the Sep11 wiki still need to be
addressed. However, it is one of the proposals that comes up most
often, so perhaps there is interest there, certainly from editors, but
is there enough interest from developers to give this project the
software changes it would need?
