A Totally New Software

[Gjest]

Since I know that there are software developers here I pose the
following question.

First, I am not a programmer, but I do know something about the field.

Have any of you considered starting from scratch and creating a
program that would not only allow user input, but also interface
directly as a front end for Rootsweb, Heritage Quest and Ancestry.com
and The Mormon Databases and allow cature of their pages and or data,
Optical Character Recognition where necessary and automatic sourcing
when capturing said document or data. Also full cut and paste
capability and the ability to add ADDINS or new modules as wanted.

To me, there is no bigger pain in the ass than:

1. The half assed interfaces most current products have for graphics
images ,et......

2. Having to retype searched data. And working with most of the piss
poor source sections your products have.

Also, have any of you gotten the balls yet to abandon the GEDCOM
Format and instead provide an IMPORT Mask for data that the user can
maniputate the fields on so import could be achieved from any current
product instead of the conflicts the current import screens provide.

Also, if you had the guts to create this new product, which Version of
Windows would you write it for. Or would you have the guts and
knowledge to write a version that could be used in either Windows
or Linux.

Just curious.
