Hi,


There is an other way for generating 'native' Android, iOS apps: a 
gramps "light" with a crossplatform library !

Maybe with Kivy[1][2] and/or an other german project (which seems to use 
the same class names, but I do not find the project name anymore !).

This might use the same logic as tried by Benny[3] ?
And is something different than web application (client-server)[4].

I suppose this cannot be the complete 'Gramps' for desktop (smaller 
screen, DB/memory, privacy, licence, etc ...), but what is the need, 
what should be features (GEDCOM/XML reader, edition, display a pedigree) 
for this kind of mobile applications ?
