Hi all, Thanks for the responses. There's been some interesting ideas & debate. Handy when you're working solo :/
* I've added in a ticket about allowing MEPs to update their own names: https://github.com/alterisian/mep_contact/issues/7 (Though probably not enough volunteers to do it! Yet!) * The source of the data is a groovy (I know, swearing ;) scraper which gets the information directly from the EU Commission's official web page. We found no other source. It has all the surnames in uppercase - actually rather awesome in it's self-containment: https://github.com/timyates/mep-emails (I originally found a script in R, which was fun to play with, but not playing ball) * When I posted I was thinking if no-one has a better idea, I'll just keep it with uppercase. Though we're trying to motivate people to side with us, so addressing them in this manner may not win them over as well as addressing people how you would expect/typically. * Will definitely be exceptions, but I will try the latest ruby preview, and clean the data with Matt's info, before reverting to my current version for a deploy on heroku. The list of exceptions is amazing. Thanks for that, Chris.
