Gramps workflow (roughing in a tree)

Gramps Web is a young (July 2021) project created for collaborative work on web servers. Since 2011, Gramps been a single-user database python application which runs on Linux, macOS and Windows desktop/laptop computers. Having to distinguish between the local desktop-based and hosted/online server-based variants of Gramps is a new problem.

This question was submitted in the general “Help” category, not the “Gramps Web” category. So I assumed that you wanted to take advantage of the more mature and feature-complete Desktop version. Then use Gramps Web Sync to push the data up to the Gramps Web instance being hosted on Digital Ocean.

I only mentioned a spreadsheet be cause it is an easy way of manipulating CSV data without hassling with formatting problems: strings that include commas, dates. And to take advantage of tabbing between cells, fill-down, pasting blocks of cells, etc.

This data (4 people: the home person of the example.gramps tree, his spouse and parents) was exported to CSV and imported (as Text fields) into LibreOffice calc. Then pasted here into Discourse. But it would be just as easy to have pasted it into the Text Import gramplet with TSV delimiting.
