    Hi everybody.
    I'm Carlos. First of all, congratulations for all  your marvellous work
;)
    I've just arrived to Qt and KDE and have an idea in mind...

    The idea  is to get a calendar widget that can display calendars of
different types, for example, Gregorian , Hijri (the muslim-arabic one)...
    I've been playing a bit with the code and I'd like to ask if it would be
interesting this work and if so, i have some doubts about a clear design:
    As seen in actual calendar implementation, it reads date information
from QDate. I think it would ve very nice to keep data and widget
presentacion apart, so it maybe would not be a good idea implement
conversion routines, etc... into the calendar widget.

    There would be other 3 possibilities:
                1.- Making QDate a kind of abstract class extended by QGDate
and GHDate and so....   Then we could instantiate whichever we desired...
and let the calendar show the dates through interface defined in the root
QDate.
                2.- If it's out of our scope changing QT's implementation,
there could be a class for hijri calendar, HDate (taken from hdate package)
and the calendar just will work with QDate for Gregorian and with HDate for
Hijri. I will implement in HDate all the functions requires for the widget
calls. This design isn't quite consistent... inside calendar widget...
                3.- Fully KDE support for dates in independiently of their
kind. Create an utility root and abstract class KDate ? and her derived,
KGDate and KHDarte, and so.... Maybe some scheme of this type will make easy
conversion operators in furure plans....

    What do you think? Sorry if my explanation has been so confusing ... O:

            Best luck...
