I downloaded it and installed it once, seemed to work fine for me, but it wasn't what I wanted. For my purposes, gramps is better.

Having done a little more research, it appears that GEDCOM is a text based file format, and has limitations/errors. It also appears that the standard geneology tools out there don't quite do what I'm after. So, my choices are: 1) use an existing tool and deal with it's templates and limitations. 2) re-purpose another tool to do what I'm looking for, and deal with the inherent limitations as they come up. 3) write my own solution. 4) forget about the project. I'm favoring option #3, but do not really have a clear picture of the requirements (yet). So, anyone want to hammer out the requirements for a multi user, web based geneology system with me? Maybe with these requirements we can better evaluate an existing system and save some development time.
