Baerbel, Don't feel you have to fill out the survey. It's more of a fun thing for the presentation. I may be putting my presentation up online after the talk, but there's not a lot of substance in the slides. They'll just be background to what I'll be saying during my talk. How do you like your Windows ...

I agree with what you say, and you're doing a great job with GenQuiry. I don't know if I'd say we're "diametrically opposite". The design of Behold is to eventually allow source-based data entry, which few programs do. I would not say I'm as interested in the "proof" side of it as I am in the documentation ...

Jan, So why go through all that extra work and clutter it up for yourself? It isn't necessary. What is necessary is to have every source documented so that they can be found again. Linking the source once per person is all that is necessary. It need not be linked from multiple events or numerous ...

Keith, I didn't mean to belittle the significance of the shutdown. But other than Susan Kitchens who was mad because NASA closed up, I don't recall any other genealogy bloggers mention the shutdown. For the genealogists at least, it just seemed to be business as usual, and that's what I was referring ...

If I could figure out a good way of enabling plug-ins in Behold, I'll definitely do that. I'm keeping my eyes open for ways to do that in Delphi and the way Behold is programmed. What may be more possible is that the future database Behold will use will likely by SQLite (same database as RootsMagic, but the ...

Bob, With BetterGEDCOM, I do recall discussing the copyright. In the BetterGEDCOM requirements, the copyright is listed as one of the requirement constraints. But I don't remember any formal inquiry being made about it. Yes, you are correct. If FHISO or anyone else decides to update, rather than rewrite ...

Justin, Excellent question. Here's 4 reasons why the community doesn't think GEDCOM can be fixed: 1. The community only sees that their data does not transfer and blame it all on GEDCOM. In fact, only part of it is GEDCOM, and those parts can be fixed. 2. They see that GEDCOM has not been updated ...

Gene, There's no "key" here. It's all over the board. James Tanner may be right that compatibility has never been important to developers. But they need to realize that people are getting smarter and it's going to be more difficult to get someone to switch to their program if it is known that some things ...

Sue, That is a very technical and detailed blog post. Almost too detailed for me to figure out. :-) But I understand what you're saying and I very much agree. Store from whence it came. Louis

Keith: Yes, in groupings similar to those shown above (children, grandchildren, nieces/nephews, etc.) That will be in the Report Options of the Organize Pages. Louis
