[Bug localedata/10011] wrong week/first_weekday/first_workday for de_AT locale


------- Additional Comments From flyer dot REMOVE dot SPAM at gSmPaAiMl dot com  2009-04-01 08:35 -------

It's hard to prove with URLs from official institutions that Austrian calendars
should start in Mondays.



There are ?Ö-Normen? (ie. Austrian norms) dictating the start of the week. But
first_weekday is not the start of the week -- week[2] would do that job.

But even if ... those Austrian norms are not available for free. I could not
provide you with a copy of such a norm. The only URLs I can provide are URLs to
pages, where you can buy those norms.



I could take pictures of calendars used in Austria to prove that calendars start
in Mondays. But I assume you do not want me to mess up the bug tracker with
several binary attachments.



Would it do, if I can mobilize some Austrian people to add a comment to the bug
saying that they support the patch of changing first_weekday?



For first_workday it's even more of a problem. There, I do not even know of any
norm dictating this. I searched Austrian norms and laws but could not find anything.

However, the work week of every Austrian worker that I know starts on monday
(except for shift workers).

Again, would it do, if I can mobilize some Austrian people to add a comment to
the bug, saying that they support the patch of changing first_weekday?



How many supporting comments would it take to get this patch approved?
