I missed this the first time.  I have been working on date/time stuff.  I have a
set of date-time classes almost ready for a gregorian calendar.  The date/time
infrastructure is set up to allow other calendars to be added in.  I would love
to work with someone with knowledge and need to build some other calendar
classes.

Ali, why don't you send me a mail offline...
