Re: Re: [OGo-Documentation] Handling of Holidays

Holidays are nice for that 20% of the population who get to observe 
them, but there ought to be some mechanism such that a company's own 
schedule structure can be imposed on its software that does not treat 
dates as holidays automatically, but with a one time or few times 
modification, if even by hand.  I assume holiday.ics files can be 
modifiable?  Why not present one large list, and allow the admin to 
select which onces will apply.  In a multi-cultural/lingual environment 
such as California/U.S.ofA. Chiness New Year, Jewish Hannukah, Chirstian 
Christmas, Thanksgiving, May day, ertc. may all apply, or may none apply 
within a retail 24/7 open environment, where each employeee us allowed 
to schedule x number of holidays according to seniority.
