[edit] Webserving (available for multiple operating systems)

• GeneWeb: Site for acquiring software that can be installed on a webserver, in which case CGI mode can be invoked, or on a local PC, in which case it functions as its own webserver. The software is free and has been developed by a group of individuals that appear to be otherwise unaffiliated. GeneWeb is distinguished by the implementation of unique consanguinity and relationship algorithms. {site visited 2005-01-27}
• PhpGedView: Site for acquiring software that can be installed on a webserver for building and hosting a genealogy website. The software is free and development is hosted on SourceForge.net. Current prerequisite is PHP. The software can be run locally on a single PC rather than being run on a webserver. The software can optionally utilize MySQL, but uses flat files for data storage in its default configuration. {site visited 2005-01-27}

• @rbre - open 3D genealogy (Java-X3D-P2P): Site for acquiring software. This is a GEDCOM file viewer, relying on other software to produce a GEDCOM file. At an early stage of development, @rbre provides a unique 3D visualization of family trees. The main webpage is only available in French, but Babel Fish translations to English and German are available. {site visited 2005-01-27}
