I need import/export, I need to share access (preferably at a couple levels,) and I need to mark changes made by each person. Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Two of the methods I've read and not seen in action: Each person has the same free html editor program, same ftp program, username/password to a common site, a specific identifier for the end of each entry (example [CA] would be your cousin who lives in CA), a set day of the week for uploading, and a specific "holding" page (CA updating in progress). I'd recommend Alleycode, Wise FTP, Rootsweb Free Pages, agreement on id entry codes, and so on. Next...I know most pages have a coordinator who receives the information via e-mail and updates at a scheduled time. While that is a lot of work for one person, sharing access at a couple of levels is a big hurdle. ANd, of course, I think of one more: Those pesky gedcoms that seem to copy each other? Some of those are actually updating each other's information and using rootsweb worldconnect to communicate that data. |
