Proposed Name: Calendar
Proposed Category: Calendar (new namespace)
PEAR::Calendar is an package for generating Calendars as data structures (it does not render content) allowing you to easily connect up a user interface with an underlying data store (such as MySQL).
It provides a simple API to make generating a calendar much like querying a database - just pick a date then render the output with a loop.
It's also extensible so should (in theory) be a foundation for generating practically any calendar you can think of (the challenge is a Chinese calendar).
PEAR package:
-------------

Extensive README:

API documentation:

Examples:
---------

This follows the earlier package proposal: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=pear-dev&m=106045306402489&w=2 to which the issues raised have been addressed (it's now extensible and no longer tied to Unix timestamps). Also package name change on recommendation, from Date_Calendar to Calendar
One thing that would be very good would be volunteers willing to help maintain the package. Timewise there's never enough.
