I worked on something like this for a while last year, but gave up when WeRelate.org seemed to be pulling ahead on its own. All it really takes is a marrying of a SQL GEDCOM equivalent (which maps pretty well, actually) and some sort of wiki system front-end. I started small and just implemented individuals and dates, but there's nothing about it that prevents you from adding on bit by bit until you get the full GEDCOM spec in there. -- Joel Parker
