As might be expected, a search of the FamilySearch Wiki using terms like Unix, shell, vi, htaccess, Perl, PHP and other 'technological' terms does not result in many hits. However, there is a need for a genealogy focused presentation of technical materials for members of genealogical societies to use to create and enhance their on-line presence. Some of the topics that could be useful are listed below. Many of the topics could/should become stand alone pages as the content is developed.
