Genealogy Software For Linux?

srhuston asks: "After quite a bit of searching, I found a few genealogy programs for Linux that are still vaporware, but nothing that looked quite good and/or recent. Ideally I'd like to find something with a MySQL backend, and various frontends (Web-based, X11, console). Does anyone know of a software package that maybe I missed, or is this something I should attempt to write myself (with a little help from my friends)?" While there are a few programs available on Freshmeat I don't see one that offers operation using various front ends like the poster requested. How difficult would it be to modify one of the existing offerings to satisfy this requirement?

SWIFT

[grammar nazi]

There's a program that was started at Sourceforge. It is SWIFT, Slashcode With an Interactive Family Tree.

The purpose of this software was to have a family news website that allowed family members to go and edit the genealogy part of the site.

If you email the guy in charge of that project, he can tell you about the Perl Genaelogy package that he was going to integrate with Slashcode, I forgot what it was called, but he had investigated several candidates and decided upon one.
