Hello, all. I wanted to thank everyone who made suggestions on this topic. Just to give folks a quick round-up if they're also interested, the list of current technology people suggested was as follows: -- www.tribalpages.com (several votes) -- www.LegacyFamilyTree.com -- The Next Generation (TNG) software: http://lythgoes.net/genealogy/software.php -- geni.com -- Google wave http://wave.google.com/help/wave/about.html (in development) And then there were the very good points people raised about the limitations of expecting to do serious work and maintain quality assurance in an online format, in collaboration with people who may have very different levels of computer sophistication and standards of proof. I find all these arguments very compelling since they're the same issues I have with the concept. :-) I worked very hard to debunk the wrong information that had been passed around in my family's tree, and to find and document as much actual information as possible. The possibility of new misinformation creeping back in makes me twitchy. And cranky. So I now have plenty of research and thinking to do about what is trying to be accomplished with what presentation of what data where. My initial reaction to what I've heard back is that as researchers we are collectively getting much closer to a place where we can have both collaboration and rigor online. But it seems a little cumbersome yet. Still, when I compare being able to call up certificates on Scotlandspeople now, to needing to trek halfway across the world when I originally did some of this work I'm very optimistic about what a few more years may bring. Thanks again, Suzanne
