Package: gramps Version: 4.2.3~dfsg-1 Severity: wishlist Tags: upstream Dear Maintainer,
this is another feature request for upstream, but since i don't want to register with their bugtracker i report it here. please forward this wishlist. * What led up to the situation? gramps allows me to set a confidence level for a given source-citation. this is a great feature. however, it misses the point that many (most?) sources provide information on multiple different things at the same time. in practice the confidence level of a source varies greatly among those items. consider a death-certificate issued in december 1834, that states that Foo Bar died on 1834-12-12 and that they were 80 years old. Now i have a high trust that this certificate got the death date correct. however, i am way less confident that they got the age right (the certificate doesn't state anything about how they obtained that information). this is even more prominent when doing interviews with living persons: they often remember details of their own life and their close family pretty well, but they also know a little about distant relatives (but things get fuzzy). anyhow, the point i'm trying to make is that i think the confidence-level should be attached to the relation between event/... and citation, rather than solely to the citation itself. thanks for considering. -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.5.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages gramps depends on: ii gir1.2-gtk-3.0 3.20.3-1 ii librsvg2-2 2.40.15-1 ii python3-bsddb3 6.1.0-1+b2 ii python3-gi 3.20.0-2 ii python3-gi-cairo 3.20.0-2 pn python3:any <none> ii xdg-utils 1.1.1-1 Versions of packages gramps recommends: ii gir1.2-gexiv2-0.10 0.10.3-2 ii gir1.2-osmgpsmap-1.0 1.1.0-1 ii graphviz 2.38.0-13 ii python3-icu 1.9.2-2+b2 Versions of packages gramps suggests: ii fonts-freefont-ttf 20120503-4 pn gir1.2-goocanvas-2.0 <none> ii gir1.2-gtkspell3-3.0 3.0.8-1 ii python3-pil 3.2.0-1 ii rcs 5.9.4-3 -- no debconf information
