Enabling the Distributed Family Tree

This is the official research blog for the Distributed Family Tree, an open network of genealogical data and metadata.  In a nutshell, the big idea is that we can combine all available genealogical information on the Internet into a single distributed network.  The foundation for this network is the substance of the Master's Thesis that I am currently working on.

Cache Manager

As promised, the latest release of Genesis includes a Cache Manager.  It can be reached from the Genesis menu.

What’s really great about the cache manager is that plug-ins can define their own categories of data which can then be selectively deleted.  This is particularly useful if, say, you want to delete all the genealogical data in the cache, yet retain the PGVAgent site registry (something I often wished I could do when I was working on interpreted dates).

Documentation for the cache category extension point can be found on the wiki.
