It's under development , the idea is to add some new fields to each entity that contain date parameters for calendar systems.

...just curious, but the dates are stored in a timestamp format right? So the various calendar systems only need conversion algorithms that would "translate" the timestamps when displayed in the UI right? If I've got this whole thing wrong (and provided you spare the time), could you give an example to explain what exactly you mean by "True and full support".

Thanx in advance.

You may want to read this first to get the big picture http://groups.drupal.org/node/10607
Also we can't query group by persian months for example by using timestamp because mysql only support Gregorian calendar
Godd news i've already developer a prototype for this problem which actually works but still require work to become a generic solution
