As an amateur genealist, for my own use, this seems very advanced.
That does not mean it is bad however.
As a programmer on Gramps, I'd like to know how you see this can be
integrated in Gramps. Remember, most developers don't use other genea
software, so it would not be obvious something important is missing.
So John, would you have the time to flesh out and make clear what in
_Gramps_ has to change? I created an enhancement proposal:

http://gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php?title=GEPS_018:_Evidence_style_sources

So, all you need to do, would be to login, and to edit this page with
what is specifically missing, how this can be improved, and what
technical changes it requires. The technical low level stuff somebody
else can do, but the first hurdles are obvious to everybody: eg, how
do you define a source is an Artefact, how do you store some of the
fields you suggest, ...

The development process in Gramps is that once a GEPS is fleshed out,
it should be clear what _technically_ is needed, so programmers can
focus on just coding it to make it happen.

I hope you have time for this.
Greetings,
Benny
