My thoughts on this... if we do switch to ISO8601 date formats, then we
would need to be explicit about it - stating exactly what date format is
being used.
If we simply repeat some information, we could represent those dates as
2009-08-11 (Aug 11)
which is unambiguous for all languages and locales. Even a non-English
speaker should correctly note which number has been changed to a month
name.
That is a good idea and an easy solution to the problem.
BTW: wouldn't this whole page be better on the wiki, for easier
updating? Not to mention localizing.
Clayton may correct me on this, but I believe that this page, and all
the associated PDF files, are on our list for migration to the wiki,
as part of a general rationalisation of the way documentation is
provided. That is, the user guides, like the developers' guides, will
then be available in downloadable form through the wiki... even though
(at least for the immediate future) the source docs for the UGs will
continue to be ODT files residing on the OOoAuthors website, with the
the wiki version derived from the ODT version instead of the other way
around as for the developers' guides.
