Initial Impression

This is a fascinating new feature. Thanks for letting us get a preview and commenting on it. As a first go through on this, I am not going to be reading any comments from other reviewers and I'm going to try to avoid reading the titles of their comments so you really get my first impressions. I may not even think them through very well so that you, I hope, get some pretty average user responses. This means I may frequently just repeat what others are saying, but if you get the same comments from several of us, that repetition could be pretty useful.

First off: Please consider adding a prominent, strongly worded disclaimer in bold or colored type at the top of the page. Something like this:

"Family Tree should contain the best possible conclusions of your research based on the distillation of all available sources. Due to the fact that you will always be dealing with:

  • Missing or incomplete source records.
  • Conflicting source records.
  • Incorrect transcriptions of source records.

it will be rarely, if ever, possible to achieve an Overall Person Quality Score of 1.00. Doing so should never be your goal in Family Tree. Your goal should be to have the most accurate information possible within the constraints of imperfect historical information."

Please do not lead users to think that a "Quality Score" is more important than accuracy, that a high quality score confirms accurate information, and please do not feed into some users' compulsion to fill in every blank space in a profile even when a blank space should remain blank.

    I very much agree with your comments Gordon. I don't want users to fill in the blanks to get a better score and make the profile less accurate in the process.

    I've had similar concerns about users 'gamifying' this score and doing destructive things to improve it.

    Sure agree with your input and thanks for the draft message. One of our main intents is to convey that the data of a person is "good enough" or "accurate enough" and can help user with other persons.
