Oops, that was the wrong URL in my copy buffer.

Meant to say:


Also, the API I was talking about:

Just a listing of people where you have four
regions and a list of meetings inside each region
e.g. Multnomah Meeting (mult) is inside Willamette
Valley Quarter (wqm).  So http://ds.npym.org/wqm/mult
would get an alpha list of people.

For people with non-Latin-1 spellings of Full Name,
I'm suggesting making up initials at least for Last
and First so ORDER BY last, first is our only collation.
E.g. if you're U Thant in Burmese, than try Thant as
Last Name, U as First.

i18n is an interest of mine, coming from hospital / medical.
Patients are more at ease when the hospital administration
has a way of registering their actual names in their native
language, somewhere on that blinking color monitor showing
vitals or whatever.  Insisting on Roman Alphabet Only is too
fascist for any world class hospital that wants paying patients
from China for example.
