Hello! I recently finished a little script that parses GEDCOM files and creates timelines of birth and death dates using MIT Simile Timeline: http://web.mac.com/phildurbin/timelines Writing this script has been a good exercise for me because while I've always trusted that I'd be able to parse a GEDCOM file exported from the genealogy software I use (GRAMPS), I know for sure it's possible now, thanks to Paul Johnson's Gedcom.pm module. My script is feature complete for my purposes (I can export all descendants or ancestors of an individual or export everyone in the GEDCOM file) and my family likes the timelines I've made, but I'm wondering if anyone else would be interested in creating timelines like this and if I should bother to tidy up my script and make it open source. Thanks for your time and any feedback you may have. You are welcome to reply to me directly if you prefer. Phil
