They'll figure things out as time goes by. Lang will quite easily slip into lots of projects without much marketing. > Now how to you want to procede?

Merge CalendarUtils + DateUtils into a common concept, be it in many classes or not. Continue to discuss on the Dev list about such thigns as: Should there be a TimestampUtils or a TimeUtils, and is it i18n friendly enough? Rely on Stephen Colebourne's experience from JODA Dates a lot and try to keep the Lang date component short and snappy. Embrace the concept of "No Religion", that is, any Java developer should find your date code useful and not just the ones who are prepared to do things your particular way.
