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.

Guide to Writing Scripted Extensions

There’s now a quick tutorial for writing a “Hello World!” plug-in for Genesis in Javascript on the wiki.  The tutorial showcases the startup extension, which allows you to write some code that will run when Genesis starts up (in this case it just prints “Hello World!” to the console).  Over the next few weeks I’ll continue the guide by documenting other extensions and making Genesis more extensible.  I’ll post links to these new sections as they become available.  If you can think of anything you would consider extending or would like to see extended, please let me know and I’ll see what I can do.
