I'm not sure I see any need for us to make calculations in the artwork related tasks. >From what i foresee, all I can think of are deadlines for dates on the wiki. Which everyone around the world has to understand correctly. If we are in-need of any calculations, it would be only for people writing the task specs, and that would be only a handful[max 10-20 people writing the tasks?]. Even if all those 20 are month-mathematically-challenged and it takes them longer[max 5mins extra?] to figure out the days and months, the trade-off seems OK. More people able to understand the task deadline and not getting it mixed up is better than few members taking a little extra time to write the specs. > And then we would have the question which format using names, exactly? Yea, any format order seems good to me. <http://www.w3.org/International/questions/qa-date-format> Since obviously option 1 has its pit-fall of not being international-friendly, let's go with option 2 : "1 February 2010" Or if we want to keep it short : "1 Feb 2010" / "2010, 1 Feb" -- Cheers, Vish -- ubuntu-art mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art
