This seems sane. For now I'm just going to stick with gregorian convention, even though I can't seem to find it used anywhere in Lojban texts. Any suggestions as far as days of the week? If rlpowell's ever available I may find time to consult him to resolve this.

However most/all of the people I spoke to on IRC disagreed. I told them to weigh in here, so I'll wait for their responses. If they don't in a day or two, I'll fall back to using color systems. But what about months?
The thing is, it's less important what is more exciting, but what's more intuitive, and more directly what's most common in Lojban.
We are not talking about Muslims lunar or Judaic lunisolar or Chinese or whatever calendar. We area talking about Gregorian calendar, a system preseting certain fixes of approximating tropical year ({djedi li 365,2421998} long).Soianvarifebruari (note that Wikipedia uses {frebruari} which is not necessary under camxes now)martiopriliomadjiodjuniodjulioavgustoseptemberooktoberonovmberodecmbero--I could make a @skari sublocale if desired, using more standard Lojbanic months for the root locale.

And it's not culturally neutral (some nations divided the route of the sun into more than 12 elements).However, as Georgian calendar is official (like metric system) it'd be wise to use Georgian names.Why should we name January the first month when New Year is in February in China?Why September is {sozymasti} when as it's etymology suggests it's in fact the seventh month?--
