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)
:Hey Toucanbird, that's OK - I was a newbie here once too. I followed links on suffixes/honours and found that there are so many of them that just listing them would take up too much space and that was just for British ones. Just following the wp (wikipedia) algorithm might make for the best task but you might allow for people to show how to handle a small sample of suffices as extra credit. What do you think? --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] 16:07, 24 March 2013 (UTC)
