Public bug reported: Binary package hint: unity
The date format used in the Certificate dialog is ambiguous and confusing. Another, unambiguous format should be used so that which part is the day and which part is the year are clear. For example. 08/05/2010 could be May 8th or August 5th depending on the interpretation. Better to have it spelled out 05 Aug 2010 or 08 May 2010 or even better, use the international standard ISO 8601 for the date: 2010-05-08 http://www.w3.org/TR/NOTE-datetime.html http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/iso-time.html http://www.iso.org/iso/support/faqs/faqs_widely_used_standards/widely_used_standards_other/date_and_time_format.htm ** Affects: firefox (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/791822 Title: Certificate date format ambiguous and should be in ISO 8601 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
