WHAT does the new feature mean or enable? It adds lunar calendar support to task:

task add sched:1qmoon due:2ndfullmoon

This task is scheduled for next first quarter of moon event, due on second next full moon. It considers a moon calendar qualified task into a calendar based one automatically depending on geo-location specified in taskrc. Consequently, supports people traveling around the globe, given the right geo-location setting.

WHICH new reports are required needed? None.

WHO benefits from this feature?

• People who want to harmonize with the natural 13 phases of the moon
• People NOT following solar calendars: Chinese, Muslims, Hindu, Saudi Arabians (lunar calendar is the official one), ancient Chinese, ancient Babylonians, ancient Greek, ancient Jews
• People following solar calendars and valuing the power of the moon (in alignment to 'energy level' criterion of GTD [[Methodologies|methodology]]).
• Hunters & fishers: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solunar_theory
• "Even though the Gregorian calendar is in common and legal use, lunar calendars serve to determine traditional holidays in parts of the world such as India, China, Korea, Japan, Vietnam and Nepal. Some examples include Ramadan, Diwali, Chinese New Year/Tết (Vietnamese New Year), Mid-Autumn Festival/Chuseok and Nepal Sambat." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lunar_calendar#Lunisolar_calendars
• Astrologers

HOW does the feature interact with existing features? It interacts with all features touching any operator of type.

HOW does the feature retain the simplicity and efficiency of the core features? Hey, it's just a calendar. The toy of the church, kings and lords of the world!

HOW can I make others realize they cannot live without it? Look up to the starry sky at full moon.

Is my feature any more than just a built-in UDA? Are you questioning the existence of the moon?

It is the oldest calendar on earth: http://www.environmentalgraffiti.com/featured/oldest-lunar-calendar/15204

Those who use a moon calendar also feel that it’s much more natural to count your time according to the moon phases, not the sun.

Ubuntu Kylin [1] supports the Chinese, lunar calendar. We could borrow from it [2].

I don't see any need for this.
