Hey Carol,
I'll have to post more details about my project on a more generic whealton post title.I was mentioning to someone else who posted in this thread that I am going to meet with someone locally about my project.I had posted something on Craigslist a while back about wanting help in developing this application.
I am using MediaWiki because it is very easy to use for anyone.It is based on the software that runs Wikipedia.There is also a Semantic MediaWiki Bundle that includes features that are part of the Semantic Web. That is quite a topic in itself.The Semantic Web is a way to make websites and information on the web more intelligent by including semantics (the meaning) into the content of what is on the web.This allows computers to see web pages as not just meaningless patterns of text but information that has meaning.
I want to setup data entry forms on the site that will make it easy for anyone to enter information.I have a plan for a naming convention of naming individual articles/pages for each individual and that article will be named Firstname Lastname (dob - dod), or if the person is alive still the last number is omitted.
You can easily register at the site and on my blog.On the blog it has been mainly about me, but that's because other than me, there have just been spammers there wanting to post.So, I welcome others to post their experiences with Genealogy.I feel like a newbie in Genealogy but I see technology offering great promises.
I will shoot you a quick email before I run to work.
Bruce
