Cyril Picard <address@hidden> described the package as follows:
License: gpl
Other License: 
Package: Genealogy OpenSource Tools
System name: geneatools
This package does NOT want to apply for inclusion in the GNU project

Description:
My project intends to provide GNU/Linux genealogists a free, open-source 
software that may help them to practice their research.
This software should be more than an single application : it should be a set of 
libraries, tools and documented guidelines to help other developers to 
contribute to this project or to use a part of it for their own (considering 
they should respect the terms of the licence ;-)

Today the project provides : 
- the gedcomparser library, usefull to parse GEDCOM files
- the gedcomviewer application, usefull to visualize and navigate through 
GEDCOM files

The gedcomparser library exists and you can download the latest distribution at 
http://cpcp.free.fr/devel/gedcomparser/libgedcomparser.0.1.tar.gz

The gedcomviewer application does not exist yet but I\'m working on it.


Other Software Required:
The compilation of the gedcomparser library should run successfully on a 
GNU/Linux system. During the build process, the \"configure\" script may give 
you detailed information about its dependencies.
The compilation of the gedcomviewer library relies on gtk--, gnome-- libraries, 
the bakery framework and its library, and all their dependencies.


Other Comments:
The 2 main constraints about this project are the following : 
- any of its components should be free and open-source
- tools used to develop this project should be free, in order to give to any 
developer the ability to join the project (for instance I use today the 
Personal Edition of Objecteering - distributed freely by SOFTEAM, 
www.objecteering.com - to build my UML models).
