I submitted a few additions to Date and Date_calc a while ago and Baba was willing to implement them once I'd taken out tabs etc...thread starts here http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=pear-dev&m=104440852331921&w=2 I still plan on doing the updates but have been stacked with work recently. Because of one or two recent patches my magic century stuff needs another look! I should be able to put some time in to the Date package in a couple of weeks. I'm prepared to apply as a maintainer or developer to this package if Baba and Monte don't mind the company! BTW I don't have a CVS account so if I get an OK in principal from the list I'll apply. Been reading Calendrical Calculations http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/0521777526/ref=sr_aps_books_1_1/026 -6872126-8572467 to see if there are any extensions / improvements that can be done such as Islamic calendars etc...
