\nUsing the kin info website. WORK IN PROGRESS
\nTrying to keep up to date with a enlarging family\n is an arduous task for any single person and is usually out of date. \n This globally accessible web site will allow family members to update\n their own information and make it immediately available to the rest of\n the family. Furthermore it will carry more information regarding\n the individuals and their relationship to the family.
\n\nLogin and security. to Top
\nKinInfo.net is a secure site. Information traveling\n between the site and your local browser is encrypted. The site is\n hosted by Amazon and owned by John Domogalla. It is basically a list of\n family members. Many members have the ability to log in and view the site\n as well as invite others. They are called users. Not all members are\n users. Some are dead, some are children.
\nI wanted a distributed management system so that I\n don't need to be involved in expanding the user base. Existing\n users can create a new member and may invite that member to be a user. \n The existing user has the responsibility to evaluate a newly invited\n user's ability to behave responsibly and respectfully when invited to\n join. While logged on any user will be able to edit any member\n page. This allows users to edit children's pages and histories of\n deceased member's pages.
\nThe site operates on mobile devices as well as\n desktops. It uses a browser like Chrome, Firefox or Safari. There\n is a login prompt that expects the user identification to be the users\n email address combined with a password known only to the user. Once\n logged in from a particular browser on a particular device that browser\n will remember the authorization, bypass the login process and go\n directly to the main page. The Chrome browser on an Android phone can\n make a widget on the phone so with just one touch you can open the site\n to get quick contact information. To set that up expand the Chrome setting\n menu and select the \"Add to home screen\" after logging in.
\nThe site uses Multi-Factor-Authentication (MFA)\n same as banks and other secure sites. The one time only process starts\n with email receipt of an invitation from an existing user. It will show\n up addressed like ...
\n From: invite@kininfo.net
\n Subject: A family member invited you to contribute to KinInfo.net
Go to KinInfo.net You may sign in as YOUR_email_address@someservice using this temporary password\n [########] (8char long)
\nThe process is easier with a real keyboard. \n On the first page you put in your email and the password sent in the\n invitation. This causes the site to send a random code to the email you\n used and the page changes awaiting you to input the code and a \n password that you made up and remembered to save. When that is done the site takes\n you to the login page where you log in as normal using your email\n address and your personal password. If you forget your password\n you will need to go through the MFA process again.
\nThe invite will expire in 30 days.
\nThe Home Index is the main entry page. to Top
\n\nThe home page is an index of all of the family\n members electronic contact information. Clicking on an individual's listing will take you\n to that member's page. There is a search bar at\n the top since this list will inevitably get quite long as time goes\n on. Any sequence of characters typed in, will filter the list by\n finding, without case sensitivity, the names in the list containing\n those characters.
\nAt the top left is a blue button ( + New Kin )\n . Pressing that will open a template member page to describe some\n NEW individual you wish to add to the family. You should\n fill in at least first and last name, as well as choose the\n sex. An email address must be added if you intend to invite the member as a\n user. When your satisfied with the page for the new member be sure to\n click on the \"CREATE NEW MEMBER\" button at the bottom right.
\nFor now, don't go on to add associations or upload\n other content. Seems to be bugs if to much is added when\n initializing the new member page. Instead return to the index. Then\n re-enter the just created member, then Edit the member.
\nThe Member page to Top
\nClicking on an individuals listing on the home or\n index page will bring up a new page unique to that individual. At\n the top of the page are three buttons ( < Back ) ( Invite\n ) ( Edit )
\n( < Back ) takes you back to the index. (\n Invite ) sends an email invitation to the member to become a user\n of KinInfo.net. The email invitation will be sent to the\n email address displayed on the member page. Make sure it is\n correct. Go to the Login and Security section of this document for more\n information. ( Edit ) Allows you to change and add information to\n the members page. See the next section below.
\nAt the top of the display is basic\n contact information, a picture, and a brief abstract regarding the\n individual such as daily routine, notes regarding when to contact the\n member in any intrusive way, subjects to be avoided :) etc. \n On a deceased persons page define where they are buried with as much\n location detail as known, Or who has the ashes, or where is the mausoleum.
\nThe section below labeled Description is a text\n area for longer expositions. Generally stuff like grew up in someplace,\n got a degree, served in the military during... Married and\n Divorced some person not a member. If there's any genetics\n important to siblings. Or you can discuss what your interests are,\n what you've been doing, buying or planning currently. Why\n did you move too.....
\nMidway down the member page is a section with three\n columns. Immediate family relationships are defined and clicking on the\n associations will take you directly to the member pages. By\n choosing “Parents” the user will be jumpin “up” the family tree. By\n choosing “Siblings & Spouses” they will move horizontally on a\n family’s branch. By choosing “Children” they’ll be exploring down. \n At the moment there is no family tree graphic map.
\nAt the bottom of the page is area to post\n multimedia such as a picture of the member executing their\n favorite sport. ( JPG ) By talking into a digital\n recorder or a similar app on a cell phone and creating a mp3 file, then\n uploading it to this section family members will have the sound of the\n members voice in perpetuity by simply clicking on the player.
\nThe Member Edit Page to Top
\nThis mode is entered by pressing the (Edit )\n button on the member's display page. After making changes you will click\n the UPDATE member button before clicking on the ( < Back ) button to\n exit the edit mode.
\nANYONE logged in can edit any members page. This\n allows users with information and time; to contribute to those who are\n not users or are busy. I don't want to write a huge policy document on how to\n be civil in a public arena. If you wish to trash a living member\n for personal affronts, please consider the rest of the family's need to know. I\n suggest using private email. If you believe your anonymous and\n destructive; your not anonymous.
\nMuch of the edit page looks like a form fill-out.\n Just click on the cells of the form and enter what you wish. There\n are embedded instructions on the edit page. After you drag a\n picture or audio file into the media section you must click the \"upload\n media\" button and wait a bit before clicking the update member\n button.
\nAn association is a link between two members. You\n will have to add the members to the data base first before using ADD NEW\n ASSOCIATION . This is done on the home-index page by clicking the\n ( + New Kin ) button at the top left. \n With both members in the database you can go to the edit mode on both\n members and select ADD NEW ASSOCIATION. You will then select the\n related member by selecting the member and association type from drop\n down menu’s and filter function.
\nNothing is automatically saved. After you've\n modified Abstract or Description or Media, click update member before\n leaving the edit mode.
\nWhy KinInfo.net? to Top
\nUntil about 2015 Dot(Dorthy) Dodds would put out a \n contact list called \"Green Family\" annually. But she, getting older, stopped updating the document.\n I had been converting ancestry information that my wife, Jeannette,\n had collected, into a system of linked web pages trying to avoid the proprietary tools Jeannette used. \n I thought a replacement for Dot's document would be a interactive website\n which would provide a single location to record individual's contact \n information and relationships, but also add a storyline to their lives \n beyond the fact that they had a name, lived and died.\n
\nInstead of having many copies of out-of-date\n information copied to computers and paper all over the country I wanted a central\n location where the information could be uniquely stored while being\n widely distributed. I did not want to act as the central administrator taking\n updates from many people and loading them on to the database, which is\n the equivalent of Dot's hard work. Her document was also trying to demonstrate\n ancestry by using indented formatting. The letter was\n becoming very complex and confusing as the family extended. kininfo is intended as a replacement.
\nAt first I created a very simple structure of linked HTML\n pages but I had trouble solving the multi-user editing of HTML pages\n and became frustrated trying to \"publish\" the website using google's\n free services. So I called my son Dero who is an expert on such things.\n Dero grabbed the concept and took off with it. We owe him significantly and\n the accolades could go on for quite awhile.
\nThe site has pages that can carry much\n more information than just contact and relationship information for an\n individual . An individual's page contains hyperlinks to family members.\n By clicking on the links you can \"jump\" to Father, Mother, Sibling's,\n Spouses and so on. People are more than just an email address. They have\n a storyline and a face and maybe some pictures demonstrating their\n favorite sport. They might be able to advise or help if you only knew\n what they knew and how to contact them. I did not intend this site to\n replicate Facebook. I did intend it to be like an ancestry site but one\n that deals with the present and future as well as the past. In the\n future it is inevitable that we will all be in the past, and the records\n of us would be best constructed in the present by ourselves.
\nAs a user of kininfo when something changes you\n simply log on and change it. You don't need to call me or anyone else.\n Neither Dot or Donna or Dero or anyone need be the \"manager\". As soon as\n you change it everyone in the greater family can instantly see the\n updated information. The information can be viewed from any internet\n capable device that has a standard browser. ( cell phone, pad, desktop,\n etc... )
\nThe site will expand automatically as the family\n members expand it. We will not run out of space.
