Project Idea #4: Family Tree Application
October 4, 2007
This idea is for an application that allows users to establish and maintain a family tree via a web application. Users would be able to provide rich information about each member of the tree, potentially merging multiple trees together when there is a common connection. This functionality might involve sophisticated graph theory and data mesh technology. We would also need to create a nice-looking presentation layer to display the trees (possibly AJAX-based?). Someone also suggested that we provide mechanism for hosting family photos (and videos?). This could be done through linking to existing services such as YouTube or by creating our own media modules within the application itself (though these features would likely be added past the timeline of the next three months).

This idea is great. It has clearly been proposed by someone who is both our moral and intellectual superior. Praised be his name.
