i fully agree. lets use yyyy-mm-dd its totally clear to use it since it gives the slowest changing number first and the fastest changing last (especially when adding a time (in UTC of course ;) ) AND it also gets sorted correctly by machines. ps: please do not get me started about how chinese do count years (its '97 now, you know?) or how germans do it ('/' instead of '-' and starting from the other end) ;) kind regards -- Joachim Steiger developer relations/support _______________________________________________ OpenMoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
