Fixed
Fixed, thanks.
Still no base app developer
Still no base app developer listed? Wikipedia says the original author was Don Allingham, and just calls the rest "The GRAMPS Team".
+ Shouldn't it be all caps? Or are you just choosing not to do it that way?
Added, dropped
I just listed it as team. The Gramps website spells it like this, so it sounds like it used to be GRAMPS but is now Gramps.
Thanks
Thanks for your work on this Bart.S.
Spelling correction
Hi
geneaological is meant to be spelt as genealogical with out the extra 'o'
Great release
Cheers
Thanks,
could an admin fix these spelling errors, please?

Fixed
I've fixed those and John's updated the filename of the category image.
Wow,
that was quick, thanks John!

Lots missing
There are lots of these missing; I generated a comprehensive list some time ago and sent it to John, nothing's happened about it. Those short URLs have fallen by the wayside.
Review
The first writeup about Gramps Portable has been posted (#).
Thanks
for posting this!
Besides some minor errors ("Gramps Portable for Windows requires a jump drive with the free PortableApps.com Suite™ installed."). its a good review. John should probably add it to the main "in the news list" because for him "PortableApps.com Suite™ is one of the best free Windows products available, in my opinion.".
Another one
Well, I missed that review (2010-12-12) till now but it's great too.
Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file.
I've been a faithful user of PortableApps for the past 4+ years. PA.com has given me an opportunity to test applications I would have never thought I would be interested in using.
I've been anxiously waiting for Gramps for the past few years.
Unfortunately I get this error message when I try to install.
I'm running fully updated XP.
Thanks,
Gio
