-working on fullname integration
The three of us completed the integration of full names into the Google product, Person Finder. This project was done to allow the use of PF in countries and areas where naming conventions varry, ie not always First Name Last Name. We allowed for an alternative that is setup in the instance of PF that is created to allow for a single field called Full Name.
We assumed that this would be an easy task and be a quick start for us to learn and develop within the PF system. Unfortunately this issue reaches so far across the system that over 50% of the PF files needed to be edited. We spent all of Saturday on this task, but have a final version that will be merged into Google's PF repository over night.
The speed at which this was developed will hopefully allow other RHOKs today and tomorrow to incorporate our work into other PF features such as new search techniques.
