Article focus

This article seems to have a problem with its focus. Basically, you get beyond the first sentence telling you it is genealogy software, and it devolves into a spew of technical specs. What does it actually do/enable you as a genealogist to do? What forms does its outputs take (not software formats - genealogical forms), etc. It needs more forest for all the trees. Critically, were I came to this article to get a feel for whether it is worth downloading to give it a try, I would come away knowing a whole lot of technical information but none the wiser in terms of utility to the user.

How do we expand the scope to include Scholarly articles?

Michal Maňas pointed out the following in the Faceboook "GRAMPS for Genealogists" Facebook group:

There are about 350 [down to just 319 on 1Jun2021] scientific studies referring or mentioning GRAMPS (associated with genealogy). The only way how to prevent this, is to include those scientific articles as references. Those are rules of Wikipedia itself, so if there is possibility to use them effectively, then lets use them. But the proposing of deletion is really annoying.

Google Scholar articles for the terms: "gramps genealogy"

How do we efficiently add some of these articles as representing use of Gramps as a proper research or educational tool? This cannot be allowed to degenerate into Gramps fanatics being loud & confrontational. It needs to give high quality information useful to genealogists, educators, students and researchers.

> How do we efficiently add some of these articles

Select a few that have the most citations and for the rest create a wiki page on the Gramps wiki called scholar articles or Gramps and research articles not sure what to call it and add them on that page then link this article to that page as a reference? Ducksere (talk) 22:34, 2 June 2021 (UTC)
