Mike,
I'm interested in finding/building/outsourcing, whatever, an app that will basically act as an online genealogy tracker... but not in the traditional way.
I was in a fraternity when I was in college... not an Ivy-League, stereotypical, gung-ho fraternity that you see in the movies. Mine was normal.
Anyway, I'm trying to find an app that I could possibly customize to allow me to track our fraternity lineage.
Basically, every member has a "Big Brother". And any member can sponsor several "Little Brothers". Some members never sponsor "Little Brothers", so their trees can end. I want to track our lineage back to our founders that started our chapter in the early 70's.
There's traditional genealogy Perl scripts out there that list a mother and father. In my specific case, I'd like most the functionality of a typical genealogy app, but without a mother. I guess it would look more like a directory hierchy. But I want to grant access to any member of our fraternity to update.
Do you have any ideas? Is this something that could easily be written? Are you interested?
