Kevin,
How does vrs 2.0 address the date issue?
If you plan to use the strftime() and setlocale functions, there may be a problem when trying to integrate information from various journals, as well as for the PKP Repository, or any other for that matter. I´m not sure if the setlocale() would change the server date, as it is inserted as YYYY/mm/dd - hour.... today.
I´m no expert, but I think that using a timestamp, which means converting the date into a number to save in the database, will be the best choice. There would be a need to process each date for display issues, but it would be safer.
However, I´m not sure if there may be problems using different date formats and values in the database.
What do you think??

Date issue

Kevin,
Since I´m no expert on the subject I assumed there may be a problem with statistics, migration, review assignment and harvesting.
But, if you say there is no problem, then it´s all good
Updating our database, for example, to alter date display and db input would be a major task, wouldn´t it?
Would it be helpful to try to implement the strftime() and setlocale() in 1.1.8?
Thnks
