I would assume that GRAMPS can use/import GEDCOM data in that case (?). Check the README file for everything that I have to say about 'MGedcom'. Originally, it was my intent just to develop a GEDCOM 'reader', but with a lot more effort I tried to turn it into a 'writer' as well -- for the express purpose of being able to use it as a 'field data editor' as you mention. You will need to try it to see if I have succeeded
I suggest that you move this conversation to the 'MGedcom' thread instead of this one.
1). Looks like yes. What I did - I've exported my GRAMPS database to GEDCOM file. And MGedcom was not able to show anything from this file, when I've open it. Just an empty window of the program.
2) checked in 1)
Anyway, it is a best from what I've seen for the N8x0. One big whish is to fully migrate in to Unicode (utf-8), since it is a default format of GRAMPS, and Internet table, if I remember correctly.
I'd like to subscribe to the news about MGedcom

vitasam:
I have done a small amount of reading re: UTF-8 and Unicode, but it is too early to say whether I have the skills required to integrate that into MGedcom or not. What might be useful would be a working sample of your 'Russian' GEDCOM file (?).
I am not sure if MGedcom is the *best* for the N8x0 -- it was my impression that it was the *only* one available This is sad, since people like to have a 'choice' in the software that they use for very purposes.
As for subscribing to 'news', well, anything of relevance will be in this thread, so you might want to 'subscribe' to it in 'Thread Tools' at the top (at least that is how I do so with threads I am interested in).

Hi,
looks like it is an only genealogy software available for N8xx platform

By the way. Am I correct, that unicode (or utf-8) is a default encoding table of Maemo platform?

darenthehair or others: Does MGedcom run on the N900? Any special tricks or cautions?

Hmm, none of the links on your software page seem to do anything for me.

However, if it does *not* work, it will be tricky to 'fix' it

Two older threads inquired about the availability of 'genealogy' apps for the Nokia Internet Tablets:
http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...ead.php?t=6066
http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...ad.php?t=18438
After completing my Python-based 'astronomy' apps, I wanted to continue my Python 'education' by attempting another app based on my hobbies/interests: a GEDCOM reader/writer -- named 'MGedcom' (another 'boring' name following the naming system that I had been following). It is at the bottom of my software page:
http://darethehair.googlepages.com/software.html
The page has some screenshots, as well as a link to the README file for it.
As always, there are a zillion disclaimers. The biggest one is that you should *not* trust my app to manipulate your GEDCOM files with 100% perfection (actually, a lot of *other* genealogy apps also have the same warning!).
What did I learn this time around? Mostly how to do 'tables' (using PyGTK 'treestores') and 'menus'.
To get the most out of this app, you will also need to install the port I did for 'Graphviz', also listed on the same page -- but this is only needed if you want to draw/view a 'graph' of people/family relationships. Actually, I find the nested 'table' approach already quite intuitive for doing this...
As always, I *crave* feedback comments
