I think this type of "someone in the group runs an instance" type deal will become more and more frequent.
Each family/community will have a "tech guy" or two who manages this type of thing, maybe on an offline device, and everyone chips in a couple satoshi per year for the hardware and network.
If you store your data in something easy like text files, you can even have several redundant devices, all for the price of a couple raspberry pis.
Imagine a raspberry pi with a terabyte of storage attached. Certainly that's enough for a "Familybook" of your closest people.
This is the type of device I am developing for today. I'm writing the simplest HTML possible, always no-JS friendly, using the most common interfaces supported by the most common web servers, and completely portable with just a zip file of text files. :)
