Difference between revisions of "Date formats"

Date format across fsf.org and gnu.org are inconsistent. Consistency would make the pages look nicer and give better experience for the reader.

Adjustments are not allways trivial, due to the software generating the pages. Some software does not easily allow ISO 8601 conform formats.
