Cocoa interface to GEDCOM file [closed]

The only full-fledged GPL Cocoa editor for GEDCOM 5.5 files (GenerationX) was last released in 2003: http://sourceforge.net/projects/generationx/ It looks unstable under Snow Leopard and would badly need a revamp.

Someone recently posted a proof-of-concept application (unrelated to GenerationX) on Google Code, but it looks like an unmaintained project: http://code.google.com/p/cocoa-gedcom/

Is there any Cocoa developer interested in genealogy and willing to resurrect any of these projects? Or any other projects with a decent release cycle I am not aware of?

The Mac genealogy software market is dominated by pricy and feature-bloated proprietary solutions. A no-nonsense open source GEDCOM-compliant framework for Mac OS would be a blessing.

Did you check out GRAMPS? (Written in Python, using Gtk. So it doesn't look native on OSX, but works.)

There is MacPAF, but I'm not sure what the status of it is.
