'''Welcome to ''Gramps''!'''
We hope you will contribute much and well.
You will probably want to read the [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Help:Contents help pages].
Again, welcome and have fun! [[User:Sam888|Sam888]] ([[User talk:Sam888|talk]]) 00:26, 9 June 2020 (UTC)

Hi, link rot is pretty much out of our control, so thank you for noticing and fixing them :) --[[User:Sam888|Sam888]] ([[User talk:Sam888|talk]]) 00:15, 18 June 2020 (UTC)
 
Thanks, will try my best to find them 👍 --[[User:CallMeDave|CallMeDave]] ([[User talk:CallMeDave|talk]]) 22:53, 18 June 2020 (UTC)
=GEDCOM consolidation=
Thanks for beginning to attack the GEDCOM import/export documentation.
 
The other day, had a new user ask if Gramps actually supported GEDCOM import. My first reaction was to think "OBVIOUSLY it does, RTFM!" It seemed like this would be a quickly handled question where I could just (kindly) point them at the appropriate subsection of the Import page.
 
No such luck.
 
I started searching and there wasn't an obvious page with the step-by-step process for the ideal problem-free import & a "clearing house" or "portal" page to troubleshooting GEDCOM idiosyncracies. Worse, bits & pieces of the critical information was scattered everywhere.
 
Like the Download page, the basic import page has grown so convoluted (and choked with caveats & tech detail) that it has become scary for the new user.
 
I've never needed to use the GEDCOM. So thanks for working on it.
