Enhancement proposals to improve Gramps
Some ideas however need a collaborative effort, for which you can use the categories in this portal.
General Wish-List
Note: There is no guarantee that any feature listed herein will even be considered by the developers, let alone make it into the next release! |
Please submit a feature request or making a proposal on the Gramps mailing list.
Implement the charting method used in Gene
Gene: The example is a descendent chart, but other charts are also part of Gene, see here. This is the most space efficient method I have seen - it has the clearest charts with the least amount of white space. Implementing it may rely on getting information from David Eppstein, though there is quite a lot on his website about his research on graph drawing techniques. I have tried to contact him to see whether he would share the code of his algorithms, but he has never replied - perhaps someone who has academic contacts could try to connect with him again.
Implement / Complete visualization techniques
Currently visualisation techniques available in Gramps are add-ons. It would be nice to have these worked into Gramps.
Existing Tools
- Third-party Plugins - Overview of user written plugins/Addons (reports, tools, filters) you can download and use in collaboration with Gramps.
Categories
- Category:Proposed Report Specifications: make a detailed design for a new report.
- Category:Proposed Tool Specifications: make a detailed design for a new tool.
- Category:GEPS: make a Gramps enhancement proposal. This should be a complex/detailed description of a way to make Gramps better.
