Proposed changes for enhancing GRAMPS by adding a new GUI API that allows data to be displayed on the screen, with graphical objects such as tables, buttons, text entry, links, etc. This would effectively be able to turn a user plugin into an interface for moving, say, the active person in the main window, or, possibly, for user-defined data entry. . See [[Category:GEPSGramplets]]for development information, [[Gramps 3.1 Wiki Manual - Gramplets]] for information on using them, and [[Third-party Plugins]] for a list of additional Gramplets.
