I kind of wonder about a really big public version of this. Something like a Wikipedia of family tree history, so people working on their family's genealogy might meet up with others somewhere 5 or 6 generations back and discover some stories going back a couple hundred years. I imagine allowing for people to fill in little biographies and attach photos or references of ancestors.
But such a thing would probably have a bunch of abuse scenarios that would be hard to solve for (it's "what's your mother's maiden name" as a service, for one), and I'm not sure if they're easily solved. But it'd be really cool.
