I'm surprised we don't have Rodovid listed anywhere here (or our search function isn't very good).
User:Bergsmit seems to have decided it's the place for him. See:

- http://en.rodovid.org/wk/Special:Contributions/Bergsmit and http://nl.rodovid.org/wk/Special:Contributions/Bergsmit - which includes copying of our {{SCat}} with no acknowledgment
It has a long page (and a long talk page) on "Meta" as a potential Wikimedia project: m:Rodovid. A bit out of date. But is it a real competitor of ours despite being bigger and more multilingual?

It is under the CC-BY License 2.5.
It has no Forum namespace (and seems not to have updated its MediaWiki to have a File namespace) but has separate namespaces for:
- Person
- Family - could that be our solution to the duplication of children and other aspects of unions on each spouse's page?
- Lineage
- Source
- Place

- The problem of Rodovid is a one man leadership user:Baya, who has no time enough to maintain all.
- Now there is a very good team of sysops in the french language section, who are founding a Rodovid foundation to take over Rodovid from Baya and continue in the real Wiki Sphere.
- as a sysop on Rodovid I am busy to update and catogorize the dutch language section of Rodovid, helped by all I learned here, among others from Richard Tol.
- Multilingually is Rodovid very good but in other way not so good.
- It should be the best if Rodovid and Familypedia could go together !

With new template Rodovid becomes closer to our community, you can add links to the page of the person on the Rodovid.org. For Rudolf this is -
.
Rudolf is HR Emperor Rudolf II.. It would be good to return the favour, and create Rodovid links to Familypedia. There is one already at Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Familypedia rtol 07:15, September 5, 2010 (UTC)
