Maybe I should finally check in on the rollcall. Hi, I only wrote the
nonsensical (but hopefully fun) Date::Tolkien::Shire, and I'd love to add a
few more Tolkien calendars to it if I can find the time and enough info on
the calendars.
Anyway, Rich, I like the idea as well. Though I wonder if anyone besides me
has a three level names that this would make four, and if this is a problem
for anyone? I don't have a problem with it, but I don't know if my module
counts much, since it implements an entirely fictional calendar.
Also, I presume it would be good if as many of us as possible jumped ship
and made these changes together. Should we standardize on the new prefixes
and what will go where, before two or three people makes these same changes
with different names (say one doing Date::Cal::foo and another
Date::Calendar::Foo for example)? If we all do something different, then we
don't gain much. So far, I see (from Rich's original email)
Date::Calendar::* and Date::Algorithm::*. Do we want to use these? Is
there need for a Date::Convert::* or the like?
