cool.  I will work on this here and there while I am on the road but if 
you need it sooner feel free to take over.  I am thinking now that it 
might be best to ditch the locale stuff and just let people use the php 
built in setlocale() then generate the month names with strftime().

You might want to look over the relatively new Pear calendar package:

http://pear.php.net/package/Calendar

They guy who designed this knows what he is doing...  Tons of 
documentation too.

The ability to use a CalendarWidget outside of form processing would be 
good.

Ya it seems like every 1-3 months is about right.
