Around the time that v6.0 was released, I was contacted by FamilySearch asking if we were interested in working more closely together to provide a solution to integrate Gramps and FamilySearch. This would probably involve transferring data through the FamilySearch public API. I am aware that there…

I rather expect we will bump into that barrier again. There’s no reason to expect Gordon ( @clarkegj ) to know about our project’s organizational structure. These are preliminary contacts about feasibility and interest. But there (at least) 2 ways around that: @bmatherly posted recently about incor…
