[Foundation-l] checkuser log improvement

Thu Jan 12 18:41:38 UTC 2006

Hoi,
It is therefore NOT truly localised, when it is truly localised it is
shown to you in a format that makes sense to the locale that can be
associated with you.  A date format can be shown differently within
one language depending on the locale. When you insist on an ISO format
you in essence discriminate against a language that uses another date
format if only because it uses different characters

Then again showing the checkuser log indiscrimately is in my opinion
not such a great idea. Yes, it is apparantly a central log..

Thanks,
    GerardM
