Another interesting blog post from the same author as my last post:
http://www.livejournal.com/users/rzamor1/15202.html#cutid1
I attended the same UVPAFUG meeting where this presentation was given. I
haven't had time to blog about it myself, but it looks very interesting
and has all sorts of possibilities. Some interesting points from the above
blog entry:
"3. What programs will be compatible with Family Tree?
Answer: We are talking about the ability to sync your genealogy software
to Family Tree in the future. They are working with all vendors of
genealogy software even the very little obscure ones. So the answer would
be all of them. You can use any genealogy software program now to submit a
GEDCOM to Family Tree."
I hope GRAMPS is included in that list. If an API for the Family Tree
system is made available, then indeed, any piece of genealogical software
could interface with the system. Along those lines:
"They will be opening sourcing the project so people can write all kinds
of programs to have different interfaces to it."
I'm not sure if the blog author here means the church will be making the
source code itself open source, or if simply there will be APIs anybody
can use to interface with it.
I'll try and scramble up some notes I can blog about to give my
impressions. The Church should have this rolled out to temple districts
worldwide by the end of the year. The Mt Timpanogos temple district is one
of the last ones on the list, however.
Cool stuff, I'm looking forward to using it.
