Hi all,

You should get a quick test with some of your expected users and see if they
perform the same with both calendars.

As for your questions, you should have a look at wikipedia :
Most european countries (that is, except UK) have their week starting on
monday.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven-day_week#Week_number
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven-day_week#Adoption_of_the_seven-day_week>
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Week

Other explaination are available here :
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Week-day_names#Weekdays_numbered_from_Monday

Most important thing is :"The
ISO<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Organization_for_Standardisation>
prescribes
Monday as the first day of the week with
ISO-8601<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601> for
software date formats."
So if you need an argument to push Monday as first day of the week. here it
is.

Hope this helps,
