apparently they're already working on a new edition for best capturing long distance relationships, called Far KinOath.

Hi Margaret,

MPI-PSY's language archive has a new software KinOath which looks like
it could be quite good. I know that Joe Blythe has been consulted in
its development, and that it should be suitable for Australian
Aboriginal kinship.
Haven't actually set it up yet, but am hoping that when Joe Blythe
gets to Melbourne we can organise a training session.

Hi

I'm compiling genealogies for a community publication, and am having a
look at different commercial software products as a way of compiling and
presenting family connections. The genealogies I'm doing are for clan-based
family networks in Arnhem Land. I'd be interested to hear what others have
used (I am also asking some anthropologists).

Thanks

'If you don't know an indigenous Australian language, learn one. If you know an indigenous Australian language, improve your grasp of it; literacy in Australian languages is still rare. Then speak it to the children. This is the noblest and worthiest cause for an Australian patriot'. [Noel Pearson]
