Finished the new banner today. I’m satisfied enough with it that I can start coding. :) (I’m the sort of person who has to have a beautiful banner under which to code, otherwise it just doesn’t go as well.)

I’m also corresponding with the Family History Department of the Church (the Church will mean The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, by the way) about the PAF file format. One of my new goals for Beyond is as much compatibility with PAF (including older versions) and other genealogy programs as possible.

Oh, I guess I should say what Beyond is, huh. :) Beyond is currently in the design stages and will be a next-generation genealogy program for the Mac. Some of the goals I envision for it (and I’ll write these up on the website once I create the website :)) include compatibility with PAF and TempleReady, very user-friendly (and not just for beginning users but also for expert genealogy researchers), and solid with respect to sources and evidence. I realize this is hardly anything but I’ll get the planned specs up soon.
