We're working on this side project which allows users to create & edit their academic genealogy. Essentially it is a wiki site powered by Django/Python. So far all the basic wiki functions like CRUD, tracking edit history, diff different versions, reverting back to previous version, search, etc are completed.

Would appreciate it if HN community can provide some feedback/comments/suggestions. Many thanks!

Great!

It would be nice if I could see the entire tree of ancestors at once.

I was just thinking the same, but then on a second thought, wouldn't that create a huge web of people inter-connected together that couldn't fit into one page? Maybe could use Ajax to dynamically expand the family tree as users scroll up or down
