Web Family Tree (WFT) allows you to display your family tree online with only a single file, instead of many html HTML files the web page report generates. See   * [[http://wwwGramps_{{man_version}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Manage_Family_Trees#Importing_data|Importing data]]* [[Gramps_{{man_version}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Manage_Family_Trees#Exporting_data|Exporting data]] ==Third-party Addons==Gramps comes with a core set of plugins which provide all of the critical features.simonward.com/cgi However, you can extend this functionality with additional Third-bin/pageparty Addons.pl?family/tree their homepage] for These addons provide reports, filters, views, Gramplets, and more information* [[Third-party Addons]]
==Community==
The Gramps program has been available for decades since being released in April 2001 and has continually grown with many features and capabilities.
* Active community involvement. Many current Gramps users contribute reports, suggestions, and feedback to the developers through the supported [[Contact#Forum|forums]] or [[Contact#Mailing_lists|public mailing lists. The Gramps program has been available for over 14 years and has many features and capabilities]].* Active development effort. New versions already in testing use an advanced database design that guarantee very fast access to many thousands of entries in the database. Other new features are being designed and coordinated by several active developers. Many additional participants assist through the mailing lists. Group effort shapes and tests Gramps constantly improving functionality and usability.* Portable. Gramps is written in a computer language called [https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Python_(programming_language) <abbr title="honoring Monty Python's Flying Circus">Python </abbr>] using [https://wikipedia.org/wiki/GTK <abbr title="formerly GIMP ToolKit">GTK</abbr>] and [https://wikipedia.org/wiki/GNOME <abbr title="formerly GNU Network Object Model Environment">GNOME </abbr>] libraries. While only well supported in certain Unix and Linux environments, these are multi-platform development libraries, meaning that Gramps can be ported to any platform the required libraries are ported to.
* Free Software/Open Source development model means Gramps can be extended by any programmer since all of the source code is freely available under its license.
* Gramps is freely distributable distributed under the [https://wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_General_Public_License <abbr title="General Public License">GPL!</abbr>].
