News

• As you probably know, WT+ server died. It is now running on some spare machine I have in the company, but things are not as fast as usually. I already ordered new server and it might be delivered this week. Then the operations will be back to normal, but much faster. Since I was buying new one, it will be faster (6 core) with more ram.
• Ask Aleš will be on next Wednesday. See: https://www.wikitree.com/g2g/1558566/ask-ales-april-2023

Answer 1

Thanks for all your work around WT+.

Answer 2

Ales.  We all appreciate your work for WT. Thank You.

Any chance the new version of creating profiles could pick up the full places names (birth and death) as entered and dropped them into notes?

Comments

That has nothing to do with WT+.
