Okay, I have renamed the module to DateTime::Format::Common and I am
getting ready to check in the rough version I have.
However I have a few questions I want to get resolved first:
1) Will DateTime 0.14 be the first release with locale support? If
so, when will you be bumping the version number (do you usually do
that just before release?) I need that version of DateTime as a
dependency.
2) Can I add the sub _date_parts_order to the locales? I have the
patch to generate_from_icu that does this if you want to see it.
Longer term questions (these can be resolved after an initial
checkin):
3) I think I need to have additional per-locale information
(i.e. AD/BC, AM/PM and now, today, and +- infinity). While AD/BC
and AM/PM are in the current locale files I don't think they are
in a useful form since there are too many permissible variations.
So, I propose to per-locale additional information. However, I am
not sure if it makes sense to augment the DT::Locale files or to
have a separate DT::F::C::Locale tree. It might be wise to allow
for additional day and month name variations too. Obviously it
should default to the DT::Locale stuff whenever possible.
Thoughts?
