Request for calendars (2014-02-20 13:55:46) :
I should work the leap year thing for mine... I was tempted to base it on the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_Hijri_calendar#Solar_Hijri_algorithmic_calendar|Solar Hijri algorithmic calendar]. On the other hand I know some holidays, but I should work more on it, so I have the full list.

[quote Rhetorica][quote Travis B.]One should be able to specify sequences of days, weeks, months, years, and sets of holidays, but be able to have these sequences change at different points. This is important because, in Real Life, rulers often arbitrarily changed calendars at points, especially in ancient times but as recent as in early modern times, and yet one would want to be able to arbitrarily change the calendar however one wants.[/quote]

Request for calendars :
The current plan for Atlas's calendar system consists of the following:
a) the user may choose to use the Gregorian calendar, OR:
b) the user may specify their own calendar with the following features:
- a single repeating week,
- the names of the days of the weeks,
- a series of months (each with names and lengths),
- years are assembled by specifying a list of months (e.g. for Gregorian, there are two years, distinguished by which version...

[quote Halian]The traditional Japanese calendar? If I ever work on that Ralts-line conlang I often mention, they'll use that.[/quote]
...I'm not sure what this is supposed to mean exactly; Japan used Chinese-derived systems until consistent contact with the west and then adopted the Gregorian calendar plus 660 years (kōki/kigen). Did you have some specific system in mind?
I expect the system will be sophisticated enough to support specifying the whole Gregorian calendar, as wel...

Well, Êndug's chronology is currently based on [i]Ab Urbe Conditem[/i] (AUC/AVC), and while the timeline got seriously perturbed, Gaius Julius still rose to power, so he definitely put through the Julian reform before being demised (teaser quote from one of my timeline blurbs in 548AD "...the General, Marcus Antonius Severus (descendant of the great Triumvir who helped lead the Republic through one of its most trying moments some 500 years before) consulted with his advisors...").

Bugs and missing features (2014-02-18 02:00:01) :
I just uploaded new data into [http://atlas.runi.ca/?id=507|Proto-Søkkli Dictionary] and now when I access the dictionary it does not respond. However, I do not have a problem accessing [http://atlas.runi.ca/?id=61709|Proto-Søkkli Anachronism Dictionary], so the problem specifically has something to do with the newly uploaded data.
Note that accessing entries in the dictionary works just fine, it is just accessing the dictionary as a whole that is broken.

I should really find something to name "malsalami" <which, in my native lang, means either a salami that is of poor quality, or one that has been naughty>; if it helps, I think of it in my head as ma'la.s:a"mi or ma.la.sa"mi. How about an all-final stress lang, a la french?
I like the notion: a period of religious oppression during which golden valley becomes impoverished and half-abandoned, only old priests and radicals having the nerve to keep living there while everyone else re...

Whenever I read [i]Jerusalem[/i] I hear it being said by Patrick Stewart's King Richard from [i]Robin Hood: Men in Tights[/i]. Also I keep reading [i]Malasami[/i] as salami (not a complaint, just a comment).
I could see that working out...I wouldn't have it entirely abandoned though (at least not the temples/priesthood). Possibly large sections of the city still abandoned, and several previously less-attended temple complexes be fully abandoned (but also including one of the former main...
