GenXML
What is GenXML?
GenXML is a file format for exchange of data between genealogy programs. It is an alternative to Gedcom 5.5. The idea of GenXML is that:
* it shall be easy to read by most genealogical programs
* it shall be easy to write by most genealogical programs
* it shall be easy to manipulate by third party programs
* all kinds of information shall fit into one and only one place
For more information: GenXML 2.0.
I attended the Family History Expo in Salt Lake City today. It was so nice to just hang out with these fellow genealogy people. They were all so nice! Read more…
Found the following that has a lot of resources for genealogy developers.

Genealogy Software Developer Resources
If you are looking at developing your own genealogy software, above and beyond setting up a database using software like FileMaker, on this page your going to find links to genealogy-specific development resources (such as libraries), as well as links to open-source genealogy software projects that are always looking for additional developers. Generally, “open-source” means that the source code is available, and the developers are looking for contributions from other developers. For an explanation of just what “open-source” software is, please see this link at Wikipedia.org.
Most of the links listed below will take you to SourceForge.net. This will be continuously added to, so if your interested in development, check back here often.
