Calendars / Timelines #94

Would the ability to work in your own calendar be possible eventually? If you could adjust the names of months, how many days are in a year, or how often the full moon(s) is, that would be really cool. You could tag dates and Scenes that are relevant to remember as well.

As far as how it would look- something like a wall calendar maybe, from Day 1 - Day 7 (or however your weeks will be set up) across and and showing off 1 month at a time. Or maybe a secondary view that's just a straight (time)line.

Cool idea! I'm wondering where to strike the balance between flexibility and simplicity. At one end we could just let people define whatever units they want, and the equivalences between units, and not even try to liken them to an Earth calendar. At the other end, just having the days per week, and day & month name choices might just be simpler to implement. Day lengths would be relevant to #74, for sure.
