Hi Emir

This is a great initiative, thanks for setting it up.

I have a question: isn't it usual to list authors like this: Lastname Firstname?


Hi Mathieu:

I have thought several times about this. Authors name is shown in many places:
* Page titles for their biographies
* Author field in publication infoboxes
* In cells in dynamic tables
* While exporting in BibTeX, CSV...

I think that every case is different, so, I'm open to suggestion about when to use "Firstname Lastname" or "Lastname, Firstname".

Anyhow, this needs a change in how names are filled and probably it requires a new semantic property, or split name into two chunks (or 3 for middlename).

Regards,

At present you have Firstname Lastname, as in:

Adam S
Alejandro L
Angela B
etc

Is this appropriate - sorry for being awkward!?

cheers,

Mathieu
