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, <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Week>Gilles On Fri, Jul 24, 2009 at 12:43 PM, Ulina <[email protected]>wrote: > In some hospitals the work week starts on Sunday, as well as in > retail.
