Ever since the posting was made about the ‘Betty’ project
I’ve wondered if that might not be a step towards a read-only reference sharing. If a website used an unmodified XML backup from Gramps… rather than importing (or converting to webpages), then there would be more opportunities to try building collaborative workflows.
For instance, the XML file could be linked to be downloadable as well as feed the website database engine. So, a collaborator could periodically download the freshest published copy, Import/Merge it and send back the resolved update. Then the site administrator could import/merge to validate the changes. Cumbersome but possible.
Or, perhaps Gramps site could have a curated Change/Suggestion system… similar to FindAGrave. The change system would be similar to the way Gramps works now… with record Editor screens. Except each valid Transaction would have to be approved rather than unconditionally committed.
