A blog I've been following offers lots of nice details about the new
Family Tree system the church is working on. I thought folks here would be
interested:

One interesting paragraph from the entry:
"But one of the best things about the program is that you can now correct
and add information on an individual. It is now possible for you and your
second cousin to have multiple opinions show up on an individual. You have
the ability to dispute each others information and note the reason for the
dispute. But you cannot change each others information contributed. There
is an icon that will show if information is disputed. All information
added will be maintained. You also have the ability to cite your sources.
I guess the only draw back so far is the inability to add multimedia to a
record."
I hope the inability to add multimedia to any given record is a feature
slated for a future release. It would be nice to be able to upload images
of vital records and such and then tie those images to any person,
marriage, or event, as evidence for the information in the database.
Looks very nice. Lets hope open APIs also become available at some point.
