I was looking around at the Author class when issue: 209 was created.
I noticed there was inconsistency with the way it tests whether the
initials were present or not (string vs nil).  I have a changeset for
that which I was planning to upload.  Are you going to deprecate the
whole class or just the use of initials?

My thoughts were to deprecate the concept of initials, and just put
the full name in the same place in the method timestamp.  That way you
would not impact too much at once.  There is a full name, but from
what I saw that was only related to projects, and you're going to kill
projects right?

what do you think?

yes project out!
we should not have initials anymore.
The Author class should just be cleaned up a bit and its senders.

We can enter first.name -> firstname / name in author
and use full name the way we want (camel or not)
what lukas did is to make sure that you cannot enter
zork@@#$Plys and that MC gets dead because you cannot create a file with
one of the given character.

Yes that too.
but the interface of authors and the senders should be fixed too.

ok. I was thinking of validating what people enter in the dialog (a
simple regexp would do)

Now what would be good is to radically fix Author once for all:
    - do not use initials at all.
    - deprecate it
    - fix all the senders
    - offer a nice interface
            - requestName
            - getName        (accessor)
            - name (with request if necessary)

I guess it's best to adopt CamelCase FirstnameLastname, because the firstname.lastname format conflicts with the naming of MC branches. I'll update the initials dialog and try to make a more complete fix of
this
