Hi all http://lwn.net has an article "Genealogy research with Gramps" Genealogy is a fairly popular pursuit, and those wishing to use open-source software in their hobby have their choice cut-out for them—Gramps <https://gramps-project.org/> is the only complete, actively-developed free-software solution. The project was started in 2001 and initially known as GRAMPS; thefirst stable release <http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.genealogy.gramps.user/228> was in 2004. The latest, version 4.1.0 ("Name go in book") was released <https://gramps-project.org/2014/06/gramps-4-1-0-released/> on June 18. The article is in the current issue of linux weekly news and a subscription is required to read it for the first week. Back issues are always freely available. Direct link to the article https://lwn.net/Articles/605409/ Cheers Raphael |

I suppose L.W.N. wouldn't let it be put onto our wiki somewhere, for copyright reasons? But maybe you can put a pointer to it? Some of the comments seemed very narrowly aimed, and perhaps partly inaccurate, but I don't read genealogy blogs or forums in general and maybe they are all that way. |

Hi, thanks! The article is published under the CC BY-SA 4.0 (Attribution-ShareAlike license), so it can be copied in whole. I think a link is just enough, though (we don't have other reviews on the wiki anyway), and someone seems to have already put it on the relevant page. Agreed about the comments too, some of them felt like nitpicking, but others raised valid issues/questions. In the end, all publicity is good publicity!

Vladimir, thanks a lot for the article. I especially liked your description of your research workflow, we really lack elaborate stories about how our users who aren't also our developers using the system. V.
