I hope to help that along, when someone recently asked about good software for genealogy, I pointed them at Gramps and there were the usual "can you help me" calls from some of the folks. I've made sure I explained to them that there are resources available for such things but I'm not one of them. |

Dave, Thanks for writing these articles. I think that your review was fair. It is also nice to see a tutorial for beginners. When I read the articles I didn't notice any obvious mistakes, apart from suggesting that marriage should be individual event, which you corrected in the next issue. I just have a couple of comments: You talked about selecting a gender if it is not guessed correctly. The gender is only filled in for you if you add a new father or mother from the family editor. There is no real guessing. Your suggestion about using a DD MMM YYYY format for entering dates is good. You don't have to be consistent though, as long as you use a date format recognised by Gramps. The output format can then be customised. I liked the fact that you highlighted Gramps' date and source handling capabilities. Do you have plans to write any more articles in this series? I notice that you are using v3.2 - perhaps you could mention some new v3.3 features. You could also write about some advanced features such as column configuration in views or report customisation. Keep up the good work! Nick. On 23/10/11 16:19, David O.
