From 1647c7e6d3e3866454b803fd874df2d0c4991f4a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Wladimir J. van der Laan" Date: Sat, 5 Apr 2014 13:46:56 +0200 Subject: Change date format to ISO 8601 This came up on the mailing list. yyyy-mm-dd (ISO 8601) is the internationally accepted format for numeric dates. This commit changes all BIPs to use that instead of dd-mm-yyyy. It also updates BIP 0001 to prescribe the new format. --- bip-0001.mediawiki | 6 +++--- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) (limited to 'bip-0001.mediawiki') diff --git a/bip-0001.mediawiki b/bip-0001.mediawiki index adfa60d..c9857a8 100644 --- a/bip-0001.mediawiki +++ b/bip-0001.mediawiki @@ -3,7 +3,7 @@ Title: BIP Purpose and Guidelines Status: Accepted Type: Standards Track - Created: 19-08-2011 + Created: 2011-08-19 ==What is a BIP?== @@ -100,7 +100,7 @@ Each BIP must begin with an RFC 822 style header preamble.
