Re: New Calendars

Hi Mike,

I just had a look at the french calendar you implemented, and I don't think it is correct.
There is no such thing as Good Friday or Boxing day in France (They actually exists, but only in Alsace-Lorraine). Furthermore, when a holiday falls on a week end, it doesn't get moved to a Monday or a Tuesday.
Finally it misses a few holidays, such as Armistice day, All saints day (which you have for the belgium calendar), or Bastille day. Here is a complete list:

Public Holidays

1 January New Year's Day (Jour de l'an)
1 May Labor Day (Fête du premier mai)
8 May WWII Victory Day (Fête de la Victoire 1945; Fête du huitième mai)
14 July Bastille Day (Fête nationale)
15 August Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary (Assomption)
1 November All Saints Day (La Toussaint)
11 November Armistice Day (Jour d'armistice)
25 December Christmas Day (Noël)
26 December 2nd Day of Christmas (in Alsace and Lorraine only)

Moveable Feasts
Religion: Christian (Western)
Feast 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012
Good Friday*   6 April 21 March 10 April 2 April 22 April 6 April
Easter (Pâques)   8 April 23 March 12 April 4 April 24 April 8 April
Easter Monday   9 April 24 March 13 April 5 April 25 April 9 April
Ascension (l'Ascencion)   17 May 1 May 21 May 13 May 2 June 17 May
Pentecost (la Pentecôte)   27 May 11 May 31 May 23 May 12 June 27 May
Whit Monday   28 May 12 May 1 June 24 May 13 June 28 May

*In Alsace and Lorraine only.

In years when Ascension Day concurs with Victory Day, we mark only the former, thus ignoring the latter.

Metal workers have the holiday of St. Eloi, July 24 (Festival of St. Eloi - French Basque).

Note that when a holiday happens to fall on a Tuesday or Thursday, many French workers may take the Monday or, respectively, Friday, off as well. This is not official and does not apply to institutions such as banks or government, but is sufficiently commonplace to cause difficulties doing business on occasion...

Vive La France,
Fabrice

Hi,

I've created 4 additional calendars currently not included in version 0.9.
The formats were taken from existing calendars.

Could these be added to the calendar library?

Thanks,

Mike Craig
