Software to generate questionarrie?

Does anyone know of genealogy software which can read a GENCOM file
(or Legacy db directly), and print out a list of questions to ask
an interview subject?

Ideally, I'd like to specify the order of importance of different
information to me just once. Later I would tell it, I am interviewing
"John
Doe" and it would print out the twenty most important questions to
ask this guy. Or (even better), the twenty most important questions
about his whole family to ask him. (So if I was missing a more
important piece of data about his kids, that would be in the list
higher up than a less important piece of information about himself.)

I know you can just print out all the information you know about
someone,
and then ask questions about the missing stuff. However, I think it
would be great to have a more focused list, and to merge missing data
from a whole family.

Any thoughts on software to do this?

First, what the heck is a GENCOM?

Then, I must've missed the REQ list --

Is it your goal to have the computer extract from your genealogy data
the missing items, rank them by priority according to the
user-customizable criteria, and print out the list by priority?

/OR/

Is it your goal to get a priority-ordered list of Things To Do?

There are several ways to achieve this last one, but so far as I know no
one has yet written the first because it amounts to gnat-hunting with a
gnu gun.

Also, let's face it -- my half-Cherokee friend's daughters will need a
specialized subset, because any data you ask for will be missing in half
their tree. Ditto my son, half whose tree uses Hindu dates and events
and half uses Christian. NOT to mention a French ancestor of mine who
died in the French Revolutionary Calendar.

Just how is the software going to know which information is more
important? What you may consider important another user may not even
have an interest in?

Best is just have notepad open and make a list of what info you want
and don't have on each person you are interested in... or maybe a
custom tag named "Needed" and enter it under that.
