The Gedcom Standard has not been updated in over 10 years.
Personally, I do not think it will ever happen.

John and Laurence:
Besides family tree software, does GEDCOM update on a regular basis? Is this something GEDCOM would see as a priority?

I think the most active and relevant programs have only TNG needs to catch up. And I'm sure it will.

- Leo,
- This is not a question for Legacy, but a question for the other vendors.
- Legacy provided a tool that had been much requested by users for many years. As you say, it is a mixed blessing or double edge sword. Is it the inability of to share this function a reason not to be on the forefront of genealogical computing?
- Over time, more vendors will adopt this functionality just because their users are asking for it or will be asking for it, and it makes sense. Already TNG has said they will implement it before too long.
- Whether or not you start adopting it now, or not, is your choice. In a couple of years, I predict that most active vendors will have it.

- Thanks to everyone for the Shared Events discussion.
- I was really looking forward to Legacy 8 and using this feature to help speed up the input of my documents.
- But now from what I've seen it's looking like a mixed blessing.
- Although I don't see myself creating gedcoms to upload/share my research, who knows what the future will hold. It would be frustrating to do all this work and find out others would not be able to read my work.
- Apparently RM and Legacy are currently able read each other's Shared Events. Is this something I can assume other software programs and gedcom updates will be able to do in the future? If this is the case, then I won't mind going forward using Legacy 8's Shared Events (I really hope this is the answer).
- Or is this something that I shouldn't count on?
- Thanks helping me clarify all the discussions,

- Thanks for that CG

- Before Legacy 8, we had events that could be copied from one individual to another individual or many other individuals. Some people referred to this as âsharedâ but they are only ily independent copies in that changes to any of the original or copies are not reflected in any of the others; we must change them all manually.
- With Legacy 8, we can do the same as above but we have an alternative. We can now take an event from one individual and within it, identify one or more individuals to share it with. Later if we change the event, the change is reflected in all of the individuals sharing that event.
- OK?
