Presentation and about korganizer hijri calendar support

[Amin Moro <cfmoro at correo dot uniovi dot es>]

	Salam

	I'm new in the list, my name is Amin.
	
	I'd like to present a work currently under develop in korganizer. It's main purpose is different calendar support. Most of the framework to be able to support this is already done (kcalendarsystem library). The idea is convert Qt's date (that are gregorian)  to the choosen caledar, for example, hijri calendar, in all displaying stuff (month names, dates, etc...). At the moment, hijri and gregorian calendars are supported. I've used routines in hdate package, based on Waleed A. M. It would be very appreciated any feedback (i don't know enough about arabic, so i'm afraid the code could contain any mistakes...) ideas, opinions, sugestions and, of course, code contributions and patches.

	Status of the work:
		-gregorian (kcalendarsystemgregorian) and hijri (kcalendarsystemhijri) calendar routines mostly complete. They can be used for any other projects, of course. 
	        -korganizer: date navigator (the calendar 'widget' on the left), day, work week, week, next x and month views finished. Now work begins with event stuff. To check this, you can download last cvs kdepim code and put and entry in korganizerrc, in [Genera] section, as follows: Calendar Type = hijri
	        -kdelibs: support in kdatepicker ready. This modified version will be used for date selection of events in korganizer events. The original, in kdelibs, doesn't support this. 
		-future?: when calendarsystem and hijri libraries would be mature and used enough, maybe it could be proposed to kdelibs, so i18n of date stuff in kde could be widely developed.

	Do you find this kind of i18n useful? Really, any contribution (ideas, feedback, code...) will be very appreciated.

		Best regards
