I'm sure it has. Mine is a common problem / solution. Still, I haven't seen it on the streets, yet. This is the kind of thing that a commercial genealogy site would startup as a trial to premium service. I was a little soured on those types of sites that wanted me to submit my gedcom files so that they could host them and then advertise the real good 'locked' features back to me for a subscription rate. Nothing wrong with that business model, it's just that I didn't like that every search was an advertisement.
This seems like the next logical evolution in genealogy software - social networking for ancestors is an interesting viewpoint. I think that it would be neat to create the search / correlation tools for everyone to enjoy . free from premium fees. I've seen a lot of discussion surrounding making genealogy software accessible to this programming language or that. What I'm after with this is to create new functionality - independent of language (although a Java API has been set by precedent).
