RE: Preview of Steem Proposal System web page for steemit.com
Can the date format be internationalised to eg 07-Mar-19 or 07-March-2019.
This will save the dd/mm v mm/dd confusion of the US style 03/06/2019.
Thank you
That may be a good idea, not sure. The tradeoff is that it is more complicated to do the math associated with the proposal assuming you can deduce the convention being used (i.e. determining how long the proposal time is by subtracting starting month from ending month). It may even be localized now, I don't know. I'll check in with the UI team on it.
It doesn't need to be changed on blockchain level but only on UI level. I live on a country that uses dd/mm/yyyy so that may save some ambiguity...

Not localising the time - that is not what is needed. Just internationalising the date format.
Much of the world does not use the US 3/14/2019 format. It leads to day/month confusion for the first 12 days of each month. A non ambiguous date format with alpha month format should be used to avoid that confusion.
Yes, I understand, but that's a form of localization (using month/day or day/month depending on location of user).
If the month is shown as a word rather than a number than that becomes universal?
Yes, your version is definitely universal, and it's definitely better from that point of view. But it's a bit harder to figure out the duration requested for the proposal (a lot of people aren't able to easily convert month names to month numbers in their head). Your idea may still be better, I just mean there is a trade-off involved.
Presumably the code can work out and display the duration readily enough?
Any news on the progress of the DAO now?
I hope to provide an update tomorrow.
Can’t you just pass a long and convert on the frontend based on user preferences?
This is all a frontend issue. My guess is that our initial UI will get tweaked by steemit later anyways.
Fair enough
Your balance is below $0.3. Your account is running low and should be replenished. You have roughly 10 more @dustsweeper votes. Check out the Dustsweeper FAQ here: https://steemit.com/dustsweeper/@dustsweeper/dustsweeper-faq
Yes please!
