[Gramps-users] Adding non family events

[Martnal]

I am thinking about adding non-family events to my database. I would be
interested in comments from anybody who has considered this and either
rejected the idea or has gone ahead with it, and how you have implemented
it.

I'm considering adding national events such as wars, changes of leader or
sovereign, new technology and local events such as a new transport system or
industry. For example, a railway reaching your town would have a major
impact on the family for a generation.

Apologies if this is off-topic, but I doubt that I am the only one to
consider it. It's also interesting from the point of view of recording the
dates of things that change the way we look at family history such as
transport, technology such as photography, sound recording, etc.
