So, all the Apple fans are raving about this.
What's the big deal? Isn't it exactly the same as every cheap MP3 player, just DRM-encumbered and stupidly expensive?
Oh, and white.
David: Its off-white. Off-white makes /all/ the difference.
azz: My latest little project.
David: Cute. The image generating program - does it takes GRAMPS input or GEDCOM input?
azz: GRAMPS (since it's XML and dead easy to parse). You can always import GEDCOM into GRAMPS, though.
David:
Indeed. I was wondering about the suitability of it for Dad. He's rather resistant to Linux.
... and there is no Win32 port mentioned on the GRAMPS homepage. Shame.
azz: Be warned that the family tree renderer (which is in misccode) may be a bit difficult for anyone but me to get working, since it relies on CVS versions of cairo and pycairo.
David: I wonder how hard it would be to write a Perl wrapper around the GRAMPS GEDCOM import module and make a GEDCOM -> FTR CGI script.
azz: GRAMPS is in Python and uses the GNOME libraries, so it might be possible to get it working on Windows, but probably not particularly straightforward...
David: I'm sure they will be released before I get round to doing anything practical about it >:)
azz: I suspect it'd be easier to hack a GEDCOM parser into familytree. ;)
David: That would be fun :)
azz: Second mini-project of the day.
