Proposal to move genealogy advice outside this wiki
I suggest that we begin (carefully) moving articles which are not specific to GRAMPS out of the GRAMPS wiki. --DuncanNZ 09:33, 16 October 2008 (EDT)
Reasons for moving genealogy advice outside this wiki
- Credibility is improved by keeping advice seperate from a specific software solution
- The GRAMPS wiki is relatively small and presumably gets few non-GRAMPS users visiting
- Supporting the best existing sites about genealogy reduces duplication of effort
- Involvement in more active (and diverse) websites increases the potential for collaboration and original solutions and thoughts
Current problems with moving genealogy advice outside this wiki
- There are no good multilingual sites
- Internal inks in this site need to be preserved (so don't actually delete a page, leave a link to the new location)
Wishlist for genealogy advice website
(Please sign you wishes so we can discuss them on the email lists)
- Fully multi-lingual (Jerome), --DuncanNZ 09:33, 16 October 2008 (EDT)
- Using a license which allows content to be included in GRAMPS documentation for Debian and gNewSense (we need a link to their criteria) --DuncanNZ 09:33, 16 October 2008 (EDT)
- Consensus among wiki editors on which site to use, so we can endorse it for readers as our preferred choice. --DuncanNZ 09:33, 16 October 2008 (EDT)
- Site should aggregate from other sites' content, to avoid duplication (what's this called?) --DuncanNZ 09:33, 16 October 2008 (EDT)
Comparison of potential websites
-Website | License | Positive points | Negative points | Redistributable with documentation? |
---|---|---|---|---|
Familypedia | GFDL | Claim 24,320 entries | Opinion and actual genealogy share the same wiki | ? |
WeRelate.org | GFDL (text) | Claim 2,000,000 entries. By the registered charity Foundation for On-Line Genealogy | Opinion and actual genealogy share the same wiki | ? |
FamilySearch Wiki-Beta Test | BY-NC-SA | FamilySearch Wiki is [only] about genealogical research advice.(ref) | BY-NC-SA requires citation, tricky if you're merging many sources. | ? |
GenealogyWiki.org | A Creative Commons license, but the license link is dead. I've written to him. | Is only for genealogy information, not articles and thoughts. | Is only for genealogy information, not articles and thoughts. | ? |
