Hi folks,

for those who don't know it, I've been working on a branch, where I
fixed some bugs, and where I tried to improve Django's i18n in
general. Basically what's done, is making Django consider current
locale when working with dates, numbers and calendars. For example,
admin's calendar, now, will start weeks depending on the current
locale, not always on Sunday.

Right now, this branch is in a kind of beta status, and feedback from
the community will be great.

To give it a try, follow next steps:
 * Get the branch from subversion [1], and use it for an existing
project, or for a new one.
 * Set up you settings file, to make sure you enable all the
formatting stuff. To do this make sure USE_I18N is set to True, and
create a new setting USE_FORMAT_I18N, also set to True.
 * Check if all formats for your locales are set on the branch. We
imported some of the formats from the CLDR (a unicode set of locale
definitions), but there are some that are not available. Formats are
defined in django/conf/locale/<locale name>/formats.py . You should
check that there is no setting commented or lacking value, and if
there is, please complete the file and mail me the patch, so I can
include it in Django. You will find documentation on what every
setting means on the settings documentation [2].

There is a list of tickets that have been fixed on this branch for now
[3]. It could be a start on things to try. You can also check "Format
localization" chapter on i18n docs [4].

Thank you for your feedback,
  Marc
