Before reading the rest

You should prepare your data for upload before requesting an upload account. This means, you need first to create your web site and have it packaged into a single .tar.gz file. The current release of GRAMPS can output the narrative web site in this format. Otherwise, you can pack your data into a .tar.gz file like this:

   tar czf my_data.tar.gz my_data_dir
where my_data.tar.gz is the new file to upload and the my_data_dir is the name of the directory containing the website.

If you have problems creating/packaging your data for upload, please seek help from the various user and developer mailing lists or elsewhere before requesting an upload account below. After you have successfully packaged your data, return to this page and then request the upload account.

We will review the contents before posting it (see Terms of Use below for details), so if you are a spammer you are just wasting your time.

Terms of use

By applying for an account for this site, you are acknowledging acceptance of our terms of use. These terms are fairly simple, and are outlined below:

  1. As the publisher of your web pages, you accept sole responsiblity for their content. The GRAMPS project cannot be held responsible for their content.
  2. The GRAMPS project is not responsible for any privacy violations that may be contained within your pages. Again, you accept all responsibility for their content.
  3. The GRAMPS project reserves the right to refuse publication of any site without explanation. It is likely that the web site administrators will examine your pages before they are installed on the web site.
  4. The GRAMPS project reserves the right to remove pages if we feel it is necessary. Typical reasons for removal would include, but are not limited to, abuse of the site, copyright violations or privacy violations.
  5. While we give you the opportunity to increase security of your site by allowing you to assign a username and password to your pages, we cannot be held responsible for any security problems that may arise. The GRAMPS project pays for the web site and the bandwidth, but we are not in control of security. If your data is sensitive, think twice before publishing it. For maintenance reasons, the web site administrators may look at your data even if you request password protection.
  6. All data contained in your pages belongs to you, not the GRAMPS project. Please make sure you have copyright notices on your pages.
