<div><br></div><div>I had a lot of data in Ilanot and Gramps, and sought many ways to share is in a reasonable protected manner among distant family members. None was good enough, but geni is a sufficient solution (not ideal - their sharing policies vary in an unpredictable way. Like all of a sudden letting people you cooperate with have control over profiles you created. We needed to urgently go and take some people off our lists).</div>
<div><br></div><div>Another geni drawback - if a person dies, and his profile is owned by him, it looks like there is no way to make him appear dead in geni. You may end up getting birthday reminders for a dead person. I prefer birthdays than year-days, but some people find this annoying.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Note that Ilanot (proprietary software, by BET HATFOOTSOT, Windows software) uses a special format designed for libraries in the seventies, so that it supports multilingual data. However, exporting the data out gives a lot of garbage... I tried getting the geni team to support those files, and they tried a bit, but they did not help me in the end.</div>

<div><br></div></div></blockquote></div><div>Hi , <br>
I used (and still using) Gramps in order to help with genealogy research.<br>
In private for people having problems with Rabanut (getting the information in the right way). As in how to collect the data and print it. Afaik they don't support any gedcom/xml formats.<br></div></div></div></blockquote>
<div><br></div></div><div>Gramps can export in multiple formats, including gedcom. However, trying to export from gramps to <a href="http://geni.com" target="_blank">geni.com</a> I only managed to export the basic profiles - all the extra data was lost. Not to mention the mess I got with Hebrew names inserted via ILANOT, passed through gramsp, exported to <a href="http://geni.com" target="_blank">geni.com</a>.</div>

<br>Please use the normal UI and write in the core and not some fork,<br>Then it will be much easier to maintain the code.<br><br>Do you have a specific request ?<br>I added some gewish events but any change would be welcome (I think).<br>
