[Bug localedata/20484] de_DE: abbreviated weekdays should be two letters and a dot


https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=20484

--- Comment #4 from keld at keldix dot com <keld at keldix dot com> ---
Hi

I think we should have an entry for POSIX-like day and month abbreviations,
that should be
3 letters wide.

I do not think we need to coordinate all our data with CLDR, I actually think
we have a
very active community that  is capable of maintaining our inforation ourselves.

So no need to open bug requests with CLDR - but of cause we should try to align
with them, and they with us.

I believe there is a difference in month names between Germany and Austria.

Best regrds
keld
