Ged2Wiki

Ged2Wiki is a project to convert a GEDCOM into DokuWiki pages so that they can be added to this (or any other DokuWiki-based) site.

This program is written in the Perl programming language – and while I had initially thought that the GEDCOM module from CPAN would be a good starting point, I later decided that starting from the ground up was easier (for me).

The program reads a GEDCOM file and stores all the relevant data in hashes. It then spits out a wiki page for each family (and any individuals who do not have families of their own).

When I last uploaded this utility on 01 Feb 2009, I described its output as “almost useable”. However, on 30 May 2010, I discovered a handful of bugs which rendered that statement entirely wrong! Now, while I still consider the program to be experimental, I think it's pretty good.

The latest version of the program can be found here: ged2wiki.zip

An example of the output can be found here: John Thomas SEYMOUR (+ Name Index)
