I think its great that you are going to be working on this. A
comprehensive datetime library is very important. That said I have not
got any particular ideas or comments.
I have not used Joda time/JSR-310 but the docs look promising and lots
of people seem to recommend it.
Cheers

Hello Bardur,
Thank you so much for the reference resource of JSR-310 and its design
docs.
I looked over it briefly and it is indeed very valuable.
It was listed in the wiki page, but the link was to the former home of it.
I have updated it.
Since nobody has claimed this module, I will start working on this
module tomorrow Saturday.
Is that OK?
Please, please, I would love more comments and ideas. Will start
asking for reviews once I have some code to show.
Thanks,
Luis

I see that this page does have a link to design docs for JSR-310 which
is probably a good bet as to a usable DateTime API design (for Java at
least). I just thought I'd mention that the documentation for the
"nearly final" (i.e. barring serious bugs) API has been released at:
http://download.java.net/jdk8/docs/technotes/guides/datetime/index.html
Even if this is for Java, the design decisions about how the
conepts of
date/time are modeled (Instant vs. *DateTime, Periods, Durations,
etc.)
would apply in any language. They are also all essential concepts when
working seriously with date/time even though the distinctions may not
appear so at first.
(I should mention that the lead on the JSR-310 spec was also the
author
of JodaTime which gets much deserved credit by Java developers for
bringing date/time manipulation on the JVM out of the dark ages of
java.util.Date. JSR-310 is a slightly reworked/simplified version of
that API, so it's a sort of "what are the essentials?" version of
JodaTime.)
