[kidanger]

I notice that in the gnome clock, there is the year 0. It shouldn't exist in the calendar.

Thanks.

I don't, because my english is very bad, and i don't know how every things work. So if someone can do it... ;)

There are even negative years, but I can't see a problem in that behavior. It's fully legitimate to have the year 0 and even negative years (for example in the meaning of before Christ - even if you wont have an appointment around that date ;)). Can you think of a problem?

The year zero just doesn't exist: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Year_zero
I know negatives exist ^^'

But that's right it's not really a "problem"...
