strftime with "%c" gives you the time based on locale including translation, ordering and everything. But even if it wasn't the case, it should be done in the user app and not in the widget toolkit. > ==> Get the locale specific formats, formatted date with locale specific > strings, context specific field limits ( ex, whats the max date value > for the specified month/year ) > plus, the resource bundle should be replicated into gettext.

All this logic should be done in the app and presented in widgets as wanted, to reason to put that logic in elm. > ==> Idea is to make a simple date & time input widget.

I still disagree because the reasons mentioned above. This shouldn't be a widget, and even if it was a widget, I doubt it really needs ICU to operate (but that's not the important part, the important part is that it shouldn't be a widget in my opinion). -- Tom. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ BlackBerry® DevCon Americas, Oct. 18-20, San Francisco, CA http://p.sf.net/sfu/rim-devcon-copy2 _______________________________________________ enlightenment-devel mailing list enlightenment-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/enlightenment-devel
