Sommaire
Généalogie traditionnelle
Généralement, vous utilisez un programme de généalogie sur votre ordinateur personnel et vous y entrez l'ensemble des informations que vous avez collectées. Plusieurs personnes (qui peuvent habiter un peu partout à travers le monde) peuvent faire exactement la même chose que vous. A un instant donné, vous pouvez trouver que vous avez des liens avec d'autres arbres généalogiques et vous poursuivez votre travail en mettant à jour votre arbre généalogique avec ces nouvelles informations. En procédant ainsi, il peut se produire certaines difficultés:
- Vous devez saisir l'ensemble des informations vous-même. Cela peut être:
- Consommateur en temps
- Source d'erreurs potentielles
- S'il y a trop d'information disponible, il peut être difficile de décider quelles sont les données qui doivent être ajoutées et quelles sont celles qui doivent être laissées de côté.
- Relying on other researchers to update you on their progress is optimistic because:
- They may not have the time or willingness to keep more than one or two people updated
- They have to guess what changes would be of interest to you
- They may forget what changes to inform you about
- Several people duplicating the exact same records is a waste of resources, time and money. Why not work together in a collaborative environment!?
Traditional genealogy programs will allow you to generate HTML pages that can be uploaded to your website and viewed by anyone.
However, there are several problems with this:
- The website becomes outdated as you add new information to the tree on your computer
- The web pages produced are usually static and thus don't allow useful features like searching for people
- You may need to handle many thousands of HTML files and the multimedia files they link to
- When you update a small section of your tree, you have to upload the whole set of HTML pages again
- All pages are viewable by the whole world, so you may need to worry about privacy issues
- This approach is not scalable to trees containing large numbers of people
PhpGedView as the Solution
PhpGedView solves these problems by keeping your genealogy data online and allowing you to edit it. Pages and reports are generated dynamically, so your website is always up-to-date. It also means that data can be searched, making it easy to find the information you are looking for.
Collaboration
No more swapping GEDCOM files around and getting confused what versions you are trying to merge. Because your data is accessible and can be edited online, multiple people can work together on the same up-to-date data in order to expand and enhance your family tree. Alternatively, you can each own your own tree and then create links to each others trees when you find overlap. Collaboration allows you to prevent duplication of work through planning and sharing resources.
Whenever changes are made you have the option to review the changes before making them permanent, modify the edits or undoing them completely.
Privacy
PhpGedView has privacy features that allow you to set "sensitive" data to be viewable only by some registered users or to have data viewable by the world - i.e. You set who can see what data.
Open Source
PhpGedView is Open source and is proud to be hosted by SourceForge. Because it is open source and licensed under the GNU Public License, if you don't like something about it, you can change it yourself or submit a bug or feature request and let the developers change it.
History
I decided to develop phpGedView because I wanted to update the genealogy area on my web site and decided to look around for a dynamic GEDCOM to HTML converter. I looked at few programs, but was sadly disappointed at the design and layout of them. This led me to begin creating my own. I soon released the first version on SourceForge in June 2002.

PhpGedView has been one of the fastest growing projects on SourceForge. In June 2003, after only a year of existence, PhpGedView made the SourceForge Top 10 most active list and continues to maintain a top 20 position.
PhpGedView has greatly evolved from its infancy as a website viewer into a fully functional genealogy application. This evolution has taken place over time based on the feedback of thousands of users, and thousands of development hours from many different programmers.
