I was browsing through some old emails and found this link

http://solumslekt.org/forays/exodus.php

which I re-visited. It is the third part of a longish discussion
about what a genealogy app should do but the interesting thing is
that the author has now released a 'usable' version of his
PostgreSQL based package.

I quote from the readme:

> This is Exodus version 0.1.0. Exodus is a genealogy database
> application using PostgreSQL for data storage and internal
> business logic, and mainly PHP scripts for the interface.
>
> This is an early release, and should not be considered suitable for
> the general public. Rather it is intended to attract fellow
> developers. As such, you should not be scared of setting up and
> administering a database and a Web environment, as well as being
> reasonably aquainted with SQL, PHP, and HTML.
>
> The latest version of this software is available at the following
> web site:

> <http://www.solumslekt.org/exodus/>


It comes as a tarball of the php scripts and includes information on
how to get it working (in the README.txt)

Have fun

P.S. I have just installed apache2, postgresql-8.1 and php-5 to have a
play myself. Need to learn how to use apache and postgres for
starters :(
