Calendar package, somebody ?

Hi there, folks ! Don't know if anybody has already addressed the following topic, I'm pretty new to this list. 1) Is there a maintainer for the calendar package ? (Oops, that seems to be a dangerous word these days ..) 2) Setting the calendar date-style to european, i.e., (setq calendar-date-display-form '((if dayname (concat dayname ", ")) day " " monthname " " year)) breaks `view-diary-entries', since normally day entries in the diary file don't have daynames: (defun insert-diary-entry (arg) "Insert a diary entry for the date indicated by point. Prefix arg will make the entry nonmarking." (interactive "P") (make-diary-entry (calendar-date-string (calendar-cursor-to-date t) t t) arg)) The third argument of the call to calendar-date-string prohibits generating the dayname. Why isn't this a settable variable ? A small workaround: ;; grr, messing around with the calendar-date-display-form breaks ;; inserting dates that are matched by calendars `view-diary-entries'. (defvar insert-diary-entry-with-dayname t "Whether inserting diary entries from the calendar should insert daynames.") (defun insert-diary-entry (arg) "Insert a diary entry for the date indicated by point. Prefix arg will make the entry nonmarking." (interactive "P") (make-diary-entry (calendar-date-string (calendar-cursor-to-date t) t insert-diary-entry-with-dayname) arg)) Then I can do: (setq insert-diary-entry-with-dayname nil) and am happy again. A similar argument applies to the second parameter, which enables abbreviations. Again, I think that it should be settable. In general, I think that making calendar/diary more language-aware (or at least, aware of user-settings) is a good idea. Any comments ?
