::: http://www.assa.org.au/edm.html describes several different (and apparently conflicting) methods for determining when easter is. Although the page itself claims to describe how to do this for dates from 326 onward, the code at the bottom of the page is claimed to be accurate for years 1583..4099. (Many -- but not all --european countries [[wp:Gregorian calendar#Adoption|switched]] from the julian calendar to the gregorian calendar between easter in 1582 and easter in 1583.) Given the historical issues here, I think the task should explicitly specify how they are handled (or, perhaps, specify a date range which excludes the conflicts). As it stands now, implementations which do not specify multiple easters in some years necessarily fail to recognize some easters and this is complicated by the fact that the same "date" in different calendar systems will necessarily represent different physical dates. --[[User:Rdm|Rdm]] 18:34, 30 June 2010 (UTC)
:::: I just changed
:::: Not sure what to do about dates before Gregorian. Esp [[wp:Calendar (New Style) Act 1750|Sep 1752]]. We might standardise on [[wp:Common Era|Common Era (CE)]] for the program, however even CE is vague about whether either early [[wp:Gregorian calendar|Gregorian calendar]] Or [[wp:Julian calendar|Julian calendar]] dates should be used.
:::: [OT: Time.... to be the [[wp:Time Lord|Time Lord]] and just play with time... I heard [an urban myth(?)] that [[wp:Julius Caesar|Julius Caesar]] changed the first month of the year from March to the next January so as to increase his term in the Senate. Hence to this day Sep/Oct/Nov/December are no longer the 7th/8th/9th/10th months. It seems when you are the [[wp:Roman consul|Consul]]/[[wp:Roman dictator|Dictator]] of the [[wp:Roman Republic|Roman Republic]] you then have enough authority to bend time! EYHO Albert! :-) ]
