Unfortunately I cannot provide any idea, but I wonder whether
anniversaries (historical events of the day,
events of the month) are of interest to you?
I think historical wikis can much benefit from that. I've had an idea to
add three numerical fields to
'smw_atts2' table: orddate_leap, orddate_non_leap, value_year
corresponding to each value of Date type.
These fields would be updated with every storage of property of Date type.
Then the queries of historical events of the day/month/year would be
much simplier and efficient.
Though I think there's a problem with multiple calendars, which would
require different orddate and year
values.. gregorian_orddate_leap, hebrev_orddate_leap (are there leap
years in another calendars?
I should look at...)
Probably would needs the whole new table instead of just adding few
fields to 'smw_atts2'..
