*Can I change the dates in reports to 'day month year'
Yes, change in the preferences ("Edit->Preferences") the date for GRAMPS to the required format (eg YYYY-MM-DD or day mont year), and make the report. Your global date preferences will be used

*Can I install GRAMPS on a Linux Web Server and use it via a web browser? This would enable my relations worldwide to access and update it.
While GRAMPS can generate web sites, it does not provide a web interface that allows for editing. If this is a requirement, then [http://geneweb.org GeneWeb] or [http://phpgedview.sourceforge.net PhpGedView] are programs more likely to meet your needs. However, you may wish to ask yourself the following questions:
* # Do I really want relatives or other people to directly edit my genealogy database?* # Do I implicitly trust, without verification, any data that people may enter?* # Do these people have the same understanding of good genealogy practice that I have?
A better approach may be to provide a web form interface that allows others to enter data that is then held for your examination. You can then decide if the information should be entered into your database.
A good bug report would include:
* # Version of gramps you were using when you encountered the bug (available through Help → About menu item).* # Language under which gramps was run (available by executing <code> echo $LANG</code> in your terminal).* # Symptoms indicating that this is indeed a bug.* # Any Traceback messages, error messages, warnings, etc, that showed up in your terminal or a in separate traceback window.
Most problems can be fixed quickly provided there is enough information. To ensure this, please follow up on your bug reports. Then we will have a way of contacting you should we need more information.
