Well, Jaran, you know I am supporting your efforts and would benefit. I have a long way to go to fix my places. I was thinking if I ever get it done it might be nice to share a place csv file but it sounds like it wouldn’t work well. I wish I would have known when I started building my tree that we are supposed to use enclosures, dates and alternative names. It would be great, although maybe hoping for too much, if there were a place dataset built into gramps, maybe not complete but covering a good chunk. That way we wouldn’t all be repeating the huge amount of time it takes to research each place. But, if we’d have to merge with what we already have then most would avoid it. It would be great when starting fresh though.
May the code angels be with you.
