data entry theme
I've been following the discussion regarding data entry on the mailing lists. As interesting as it may be, I think there's some naivety to it. Archives avoid giving full access for a reason, and this is competition. The really relevant data transfer will always depend on human effort, and that is where Gramps should be independent -- that's why facilitating data entry with default values is so important. You don't need to bother answering this, just a thought for your consideration. --[[User:Lcc|Lcc]] 12:38, 31 July 2010 (UTC)
 
It is quite handy, though, to turn data on the screen into data in gramps. The part that I would be worried about is the constantly changing webpages that will require the screenscrappers to adapt. And the webpages will change, because, as you say, they don't want to make it easy---they are the competition. But having a well-defined API for such moving back and forth seems like a good thing, no? --[[User:Dsblank|Dsblank]] 12:58, 31 July 2010 (UTC)
