After some more research I guess it would be better to have a separate configuration variable $sfg24HourTime: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Date_and_time_notation_by_country says that, for example in Australia and India 12-hour notation is common, but the most common date format is d/m/y (as opposed to the American m/d/y). So I guess Australian and Indian users would want to switch $wgAmericanDates off while still having the 12-hour clock format. As for the default value of $sfg24HourTime - from a compatibility point of view it should be 'false', so that SF doesn't change behaviour. Most other applications default to 24h time though, because the majority of humans use this format in written language, I believe ;) Patrick. -- Key ID: 0x86E346D4 http://patrick-nagel.net/key.asc Fingerprint: 7745 E1BE FA8B FBAD 76AB 2BFC C981 E686 86E3 46D4 --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Semantic Forms" group.
