• Gedcom import to real db is enabled. Imported records are imediatly searchable, but not shown into recent changes!!!! To see added records you can use a special page Special:Changedrecords at every localisation.

03-20

• Surnames list redesigned. Now all clans can have a special page into namespace 'Clan'. Future feature: if user turns on watching for clan page his will be receive notification not only about clan page modifications but also about modifications of any/new person of this clan.

Namespace 'Clan' are searchable by default (as Person and Family namespaces).

• Questions for gedcom testers. Can we open gedcom import for real db?
• What do you think about tree http://engine.rodovid.org/wk/Special:Tree/5392 - please, discuss here?

03-16

• Gedcom import script v. 1.0rc:

1. Provide less options then before versions.
2. Create refnum <user id>::<gedcom filename>::<gedcom record type>::<gedcom record id> for further updates from gedcom file with same name.
3. Similar search is now giving more false hits but it is better to give some false hits than to miss the same.
4. Preview young persons and person with unknown birth date to user by default.
5. Remove prefixies from clan value.
6. Convert uppercase words to titlecase.

03-13

• Persons grouped by birth year: Special:Yearslist, en:Special:Yearslist

#DE8887
#9ACD32
#D2691E

Example: User:Baya/Tree Colors

03-7

• All event types now are compatable with Gedcom 5.5 + some other described into news for march 3. Gedcom allow add so many events with same type as you want. So now you can add two birthday... too.
• Event types now are hardly coded. MediaWiki:Rd_personevents and MediaWiki:Rd_familyevents are using only for translations. If users need other types they must request for it. All previously imported events that not hardly coded are shown with its imported type.
• Gedcom import. From this time information about filename, gedcom ID into file, user id are stored into record ind_refs field (all known uids from other resources) as

<user id>::<gedcom filename>::<gedcom record type>::<gedcom record id>.

This refnum will be used for future updates with same gedcom. When user will add data from gedcom file with same name and same ids into file, if gedcom and real record are the same script just notice user about it.

Due to this change all gedcom caches are cleaned. Sorry for unconviniences.

• Simple numeric ref numbers from gedcom will be skipped.
• MediaWiki:Rd_datestatuses & MediaWiki:Rd_datestatusmarks

03-5

New synonym for interwiki wikipedia link = wk:

03-3

Gedcom import procedure fully reconstructed. It is now more slowly ((( but work with gedcom data more precisely for 5.5 version + some older structure. NB, during import:

1. recognize only gregorian calendar, in other cases move date value to ext_info of event.
2. recognize not 5.5 structure types '_MILT', '_EXCM', '_FA1', '_FA2', '_FA3', '_FA4', '_FA5', '_FA6'. If you need ask about others with example.
3. ALIA recognised as other name value not a reference to other INDI (as into 5.5).
4. OBJE, SUBM, REPO, ANCI, DESI, ASSO, EVEN, NCHI, CHIL, CHAN records skiped
5. All NOTEs from any structure are moved to global^* Notes.
6. TITL and PAGE of SOUR stored into global^* sources array. All additional SOUR info stored in global^* Notes with special marks (en:Moses O'Byrne), DATE, QUAY, EVEN are skiped.
7. STAT, TEMP, AGNC, CAUS stored into ext info of event.
8. AGE skiped and not stored, but can be used in future for calculations.
9. RESN, SSN, RFN, RIN, AFN are stored into global^* array "ind_refs" with type prefix. REFN with self type prefix. Accordinally new field for persons and families added (see edit pages)
10. Date types are tuned to Gedcom values. (double dates FROM and BET will come in nearest future :) )
11. checking for similar during import now compare not anly names, surnames but also reference numbers (refs), and spouses. In list of similars marked REFN and HW accordanly.
12. !!!!!!!!!!!!!! FAMC used only as link to father and mother!!!! ADOP skiped everywhere ((.
13. Full name. Now surname position into fullname can be set by "//". If name does not contain // mark, surname will be automatically added during prepararing to view to the end of name.

name: Jorg H. W. // Jr.
surname: Bush
resulted fullname: Jorg H. W. Bush Jr.

!*! global for current person or family

Gedcom import can be tested at engine. Over couple of days I add it to real dbs features.
