PGV @ Neumont University

Each quarter students who are working on their computer science degree at Neumont University are assigned tasks to work on related to the PhpGedView project. The students work on the project under the direction of PGV Founder, John Finlay. While working on the project, the students gain valuable experience working on an active, living open source project.

This quarter Neumont University students will work on:

  • Java FTP Installer - A team of students is working on a simple installer program which can be run from the desktop and used to automatically install PHP applications on a remote webserver.
  • Custom Reports - A team of students will be working on building a tool for creating custom reports.
  • AJAX Enhancements - A team of students will be working on integrating several AJAX enhancements including modularizing the AJAX tabs on the individual page, some UI improvements to the calendar, and a top-down descendancy chart.
  • FamilySearch Synchronization - FamilySearch is introducing new Web Services which are currently in a beta phase. This team will be working on finalizing the synchronization module which will integrate PGV and new FamilySearch.
  • GedSync Offline Synchronization Client - Along with the FamilySearch synchronization efforts, a team will be building an offline Java tool which will synchronize a local GEDCOM file with a PGV website.

In past quarters Neumont University students have worked on:

  • AJAX Enhancements (4.1) - use AJAX to load the tabs on the individual page. Enhance the hourglass chart to use AJAX to expand the tree more generations. For example you can continue to click and expand generations of the tree dynamically with AJAX without reloading the entire page.
