::Well I changed it back to draft status as I thought it needed just this kind of discussion to improve the task description.
::How about changing the task description to explicitly state that just the wikipedia algorithm need be implemented but leaving it open for implementors to add extra functionality as long as they state that they are doing that (and maybe what extra functionality is being added).? --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] 06:49, 24 March 2013 (UTC)
Apologies to all, I am new to this site and regret not being more precise about this particular task. I should have also read the guidelines before starting. The task is basically to implement the NYSIIS algorithm, but I have noticed the original algorithm has subsequently been modified by others (presumably to improve its indexing capabilities). I propose the main task should be implement the standard NYSIIS algorithm, as shown on Wikipedia, which I believe is based on a single name. There should then be the optional task of allowing multiple names to be processed (I will give some examples of those, including double-barrelled names, or double surname, including removing unnecessary suffixes/honours that are not required for indexing purposes). Does this sound okay? BTW, I appreciate all the helpful comments already posted here. --[[User:Toucanbird|Toucanbird]] 11:42, 24 March 2013 (UTC)
