Sorry, my fault. Should have included a few pointers:

The URL:
http://www.gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php?title=Gramps_3.0_Wiki_Manual_-_Gramplets#Data_Entry_Gramplet

The "Data Entry" is currently in with the rest, in:
trunk/src/plugins/DefaultGramplets.py

Yes, and the top of that webpage above gives a brief description of each
form.

This won't do everything, but just the most common relationships. You can
see a screen picture at the URL.

Yes, and this is in trunk so it is only experimental. Be careful! And have
fun, too!
