New Beta Imminent

When you say changes to the local file ...

Will that include download of media (e.g: pictures), and then either:

1) upload a new profile picture in place of the previous one?

and/or

2) upload a profile picture where none existed previously on Geni.com?

Dan Cornett If you change the main profile picture in your desktop it will replace it up on Geni. If you add a media item to a person on the desktop it will add it to Geni. :)

I suggest you clean up your web site before trying to re-build marketing hype....never mind credibility....

"When AncestorSync releases in June of 2011 you may choose any of our supported pedigrees, despite what you choose now. AncestorSync makes a great gift to your family members you want to get online! Pre-Order now and we'll notify you the moment you can download AncestorSync.

Initial release of AncestorSync will include download only from the web. Full synchronization will be released later in 2011."

Oddbjørn Olsen Oh, you mean our Geni projects page. Thanks for that, I didn't see it.

No one is as frustrated with the delay as I. Quite honestly our ininitial model was wrong. We had to go back and recode a ton of our base architecture. We've implemented new technologies that can scale and handle the needs of our users. Because of the earlier beta test we figured out what to fix. We're quite confident that we have it right this time, and we hope you feel the same when you see the results.

Thank you everyone for your patience. I really can't wait to get this new beta in your hands. :)

No, its a live link to your pre-order page. I haven't pre-ordered but I can imagine that those that have, are less than impressed.

I have however used (=wasted) a considerable amount of time in trying to make AncestorSync work.

The concept has great potential, but as they say, the proof is in the pudding.

Oddbjørn Olsen Agreed. I hope we reach your expectations.

I will make the changes to the pre-order page. It will be changing a bit. Thank you for your input.

havin trouble with my download - ihave had to dump and re-install have done this severla times

right now its trying to login and has sat and grinded away for over an hour -

I know not been great on the other - but the syncing and not having to type in all the data has been my main interest -

i gave up on gedcoms - after being chastised - from even trying to get them direct from geni - - so sit here typing in all data off of/on on to GENI into my various files - - through GENI i was finally aboe to get ad fairly decent gedcom to work with on my gastinieau/dye data - but have not bother with nay other since its been a hassle and have to do gedcoms exports into legaaacy then export gecom from there and then gedcom back into PAF where all my data is at present

i did finally accomplish one thing to get my paf to work properly - it had cycles in it for some reason and was 'claming up' refusing to produce gedcoms, reports etc. my ahha moment saved my file of 11,000+ profiles with tons of documentation

Judith "Judi" Elaine (McKee) Burns Stop using the file that's on the site. You'll be emailed about getting a new one shortly. :)

Starting Monday of next week we will be inviting beta testers at random to test out the new AncestorSync. Stay tuned and stick close to your email!

The pre-order page is still +/- 1 year "off"...

Oddbjørn Olsen Thank you. We're remaking the site. It will be improved within a few days.

I fear I have bad news. We found a substantial bug and we must resolve it before we hand this beta out. Stay tuned, I will keep you posted. Thank you all for your patience.

No problem, @Dovy Paukstys - we prefer that you sort out the bugs before they trouble us :-)
Greetings

Will it work with Linux OS?

Will you be including a new download link?

Michael David Beach Not right now. Windows and OSX, although it works with Wine I hear.

Private User Of course we will. As soon as we have it working.

Thanks Dovy, can I assume that it's been tested with Wine?

Private User My apologies, my last post makes no sense, I must have been very tired. It's a beta that hasn't even shipped, of course it hasn't been tested.

When you're ready to ship the beta out, I'd be happy to test it with Wine. Now I just have to find a genealogy program that works in Wine, any suggestions?

Rootsmagic works well i hear. Legacy will too I believe. I am not sure of the others. I am a Mac user personally. ;)

I am a Legacy user after trying the others and it is the best as far as I am concerned. But now that is in South Africa although my so in America bought it there for me. Continually update.

@dovydas. Is there still life in this project, when is the next development due?

Willem Breet It's still very much alive. We're ironing some final issues and doing final internal testing before we deploy. It's coming, but I can't give a time yet. My apologies.

wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiissssssssssssssssssssssshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnnnngggggggggggggggggggg hhhhhhhhhhhhhhooooooooooooooooooopppppppppppppppiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnnnnnnggggggggggggg dddddddddddddddrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaammmmmmmmmmmmmmmmiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnnnnnnnngggggggggggggggg Hope the waiting we all have been doing will be worth it

Private User We are all hoping for something more concrete than soon. How about a possible date you are shooting for.

I hate to say it maybe GENI officals should acquire the rights and have it as one of their assets of the subscription fees ( we do need more for the money than than the gift items) Subscribers need some type of more interaction than they have now it would solve the gedcom issues

The beta is LIVE! Go to http://ancestorsync.com. :)

P.S. Check out our newly supported programs.

Judith "Judi" Elaine (McKee) Burns, I think you'll like one of our new supported programs. ;)

Oh hope so - I have been databasin another branch of my family by SURNAME only as I have a hugh notebook to got thorugh on them I gedcom my branch out of my PAF and used it as the start basis as other gedcoms I found I do what people deema erotic or totally nuts I go in and delete all hose peskey "unknowns", "living", "private' if blank and go check marriage recockrds an those that have no names attached to the - delete those as well as them blank ones without a spouse ab then gedcom an dimport into the main file and then start the merging process gain.

done a down load - found only one Error on it thus far - a major one i would feel and would present problems -

my son was marked as " deceased" by Ancestorsync and given all his fathers biographical data - nor any dates and no comments of him being deceased!

there was no biographical data in the about me section until i done a synce before i seen this so i took that info back out within his profile
