Get Involved !
Development of GRAMPS 3.0 is going smoothly. The core elements are almost finished: new family tree management and multiple rich text notes. Focus is shifting to smaller features, updating the reports and even some new reports.
As always, we can use as much help as possible, especially with reworking the reports. Take the development version for a spin, and get involved!

Gramps 2.2.8 ("You sons of a silly person") released.

New wiki site
The new wiki site is being rapidly developed as I write this. The plan now is to transfer all contents of various gramps websites to this wiki: the main gramps-project.org site as well as the developers wiki. Most of the main site is already ported, although we still have to figure out the new format for news/announcements. Some of the developers contents is also transferred, but there’s always room for more.
Gramps 2.2.6 ("Summarize Proust Competition") released.
The 2.2.6 release is a quick release to fix the problem with reports. 2.2.5 has a bug that is triggered if you try to create a report in landscape mode. Generating a report in landscape mode would corrupt the saving of you options, preventing you from generating a new report.
2.2.6 fixes this problem.
