mainly PhpGedView and webtrees, that let's you publish your data to your own site, but includes in the package privacy settings and controls over access.

You can set it up for invitation only site visits, or open it up but with limited add/edit powers for registered users. Open it to google searches, or not. It takes only modest tech skills to set up, but there are slightly spendy web hosts that will do it for you. It's a good solution too for distant relatives who would be struck dumb by a massive gedcom file, but would be interested to view or add a detail or two. A simple forum included, as I recall. If all else fails, you have the final edit. Keeps it all out of the hands of Ancestry as well.

At this rate I should be on top of it by 2020.
