I'm looking for genealogy software, so far there are a few options (all web-based):
I prefer something open source, but of course it needs regular, ongoing development. There are many websites with family tree tools that support GEDCOM but I find them clumsy, and many are very expensive, and the free versions are constantly nagging. With user-created content, both the advertising and the freemium business models leave me wanting to manage my own content.
