[Health-dev] About name on Party

[Cédric Krier]

Hi,

First, if you are interesting in this discussion, I would like you read
this [1] before going further.

As one of the original author of the party module, I want to say that
this background was known when we wrote the party module and the fact
there is only one single name field was on purpose.

So for me, the addition of the lastname field in health module is not
correct because it is too locale specific.
I tried to find where this distinction was needed in the health modules
but I did not.
So for me, there are two options to make GNU Health works better all
around the world:

- Remove lastname field because we don't need it.

- Change lastname field for a (or many) field(s) for which the usage
  will be clearly defined like: "called name" for sending mail.

PS: I'm willing to work on this once an agreement will be reached.

Thanks,
