PhpGedView 4.0 beta 6
March 17, 2006
The beta for PhpGedView has received its sixth and potentially final release. PhpGedView is an online genealogy program that utilizes PHP, MySQL, etc., in order to allow collaboration between multiple people over the internet. You can edit all of the information available, as well as add to it, you can create privacy restrictions (logins required, information of living individuals restricted, etc.). It doesn’t look like anything was changed, just bug fixes and final packaging to test before the Final Release of PhpGedView 4.0. You can download and test it here.
Updates/Developer’s Note:
In anticipation of the final release, beta 6 is divided up into several different packages. The purpose of dividing up the packages is to make the default installation smaller but still allow you to include the other options if you want to:
-phpGedView-4.0beta6-all contains everything from the CVS including all languages, places, flags, and themes. This is similar to the other beta releases.
-phpGedView-4.0beta6 release only contains the most popular languages (de, en, fr, he, nl, no, sv), flags, and themes (cloudy, standard, ocean, simplygreen, xenea) and does not contain any places.
-places-4.0beta6 contains all of the places from the “all” package
-languages-4.0beta6 contains all of the languages plus some extra files required for some languages.
-themes-4.0beta6 contains all of the themes from the all release
-flags-4.0beta6 contains all of the flag files

A new web-based genealogy application has popped up - it uses Mason, Perl, Apache, and Linux, however access is via a web browser, therefore any Operating System can be used to collaborate. We have very little other information at this time, other than it’s being actively developed.
Developer’s Description:
WebPAF is a web-based, collaborative genealogy database management system. With webPAF running on your server you and your fellow researchers (whom you have given a password) can access and interact with your genealogy data from any browser.
It can be downloaded here at SourceForge.net

February 25, 2006
The Next Generation of Genealogy Sitebuilding (TNG) 5.1.2 is available for registered TNG 5.x users. TNG is an online genealogy colaboration application. It uses PHP and a database (MySQL, etc.) and allows families to collaborate on genealogy research - the data can be updated in realtime by authorized users, without having to upload anything and GEDCOM files for local use can be downloaded from this application- this is a true genealogy applications. It also provides an easy way for viewing genealogy information.
A big advantage TNG has over, say the output from an offline genealogy program, is that you do not have to upload and/or manage 100s or 1000s of individual files - you can make your changes online, or upload a GEDCOM file and us it to populate a family tree in TNG.
