  Bjørn,

   

  By adding a tag like

  _Geni_Profile_privacy with a value like public or private (to indicate if the profile is private or not)

   _Geni_familygroup_profile with a value like true or false (to indicate if the profile is within the familygroup)

  for each profile

   

  I would also like to known the profile managers so I would like one or more tags for each profile with a tag like

  _Geni_profile_manager with as value the name of the manager (may be useful to contact the manager when he/she left Geni)

  _Geni_profile_manager_id with as value the id (number) of the profile of the manager (That will make it easier to contact the profile managers on Geni (that can be difficult otherwise for basic users))

  Exactly, - how would that be useful, - unless you have your own program to read those GEDCOM's, but in that case I would drop the whole GEDCOM level and extract the info directly from Geni using the API.

  Bjørn,

  It would depend on the importing program. The report facilities could use those fields to determine what to publish.

  I have some programs to can use a gedcom as input that are quit flexible for reading these kind of non standard tags.

  An other possibility is using a gedcom converter or text editor to rewrite those tags for other programs to tags they do understand.

   

  Using the API is too complicated for most Geni users I think, but where can I find information about the API?
