Yes, I saw an example of the two toolbars in the Labyrinth activity. Sounds
easy to do but with some code duplication. I will plan it for the next
release.

Okay.

You’re right. However GEDCOM format needs more fields so, more complexity.
One example is the birthdate. Of course it seems logical to have a birth
date field in a family tree. By the way, it need some complex interaction
for child to handle this. So I choose for the moment to ignore it and let it
in the description field. In a similar way, there is no separation today
between first name and last name like in the “buddy name”. May be I could
imagine a “basic” interface with only simple fields and an “advanced”
interface with more fields. BTW I didn’t observe this basic/advanced
separation in some other Sugar activities.

Thanks and thanks for your feedback.
