Welcome to Rodovid Engine!
The purpose of this section of
Rodovid
is to discuss the development of the Rodovid Engine, which generates family trees on Rodovid;
suggest enhancements and new features; and, of course,
do tests and try-outs with genealogical records about both real and nonexistent people.
Choose your option to start:
test
the functionality of Rodovid Engine
read or write
documentation
for the project
request a feature
report a bug
ask a question about the project
request Rodovid in a new language
discuss
with the rest of the Rodovid international community
Special Pages
There are several special pages, created for usefulness in Genealogy.
They can be accessed from the
Special pages
menu in every localization.
The following are quick links to them:
Youngest persons
Last changed persons
Grouping by last names
Grouping by the year of birth
Testing
In Engine, as opposed to the localizations, you can add persons and families without any restrictions, checks and verifications -
study how it works!
Add a new person
Examples
There are several different examples of the way family trees can be created:
Ancestors:
Willem-Alexander van Oranje Nassau
english: James Bethell b. 18 June 1996 - Full Tree
William Windsor
Descendants:
Pippin III the Short
Yaroslav the Wise
Other pages:
Short person view
Family preview
Harem view
Fictional examples:
Balbo Baggins
- Imported from the
ring.ged
file.... — this is just an example at Engine for testing.
Don't put jokes or other unreal data in the real database.
Help needed - HTML and Wiki syntax
