<title>Events View</title>
<para>New in version 2.2 is the inclusion of an Events View. Events
can be shared between between multiple people and multiple families.
The Events View lists the all the events recorded in the database. The
default view displays the <guilabel>Description</guilabel>,
<guilabel>ID</guilabel>, <guilabel>Type</guilabel>,
<guilabel>Date</guilabel>, <guilabel>Place</guilabel> and

<para>The list of Events can be sorted in the usual manner, by
clicking on the column heading. Clcking once sorts in ascending order,
clicking again sorts in descending order. The <guilabel>Column

<para>Version 2.2 adds support for Repositories. A repository can be
