I think that what Jim is looking for is a witness tab on the event edit dialog, like we have in 2.0.x? Do I have that right? My question is different though. Basically, if Bob and Carol witness Jill and Ted's wedding, I can (in 2.0.x) add them as witnesses in the event edit dialog. It would be great if gramps also automatically added events to Bob and Carol for the wedding which they witnessed.
