Gramps is an example of commons-based peer production[9] as free and open-source software created by genealogists, for genealogists.[9][10]
In addition to human family trees, the program has also been used to create animal pedigree charts[11] as well as academic genealogy showing mentoring relationships between scientists, physicians, and scholars.[12]
