brings three different date formats. I think people will never manage
to be consistent except if they use ISO 8601 the international date
format. YYYY-MM-DD

I read Python tries to have clear (beauty) code. Maybe that should be
applied to the website too?

Proposing usage of ISO 8601 at python.org I also have in mind that
sites related to python may follow. One could easier convince them, by
saying look, python.org does it like that too. Let's all join.

E.g.
http://www.djangoproject.com/weblog/ August 19, 2009
http://code.djangoproject.com/wiki/RecentChanges 10/27/09
