Restricting Official Calendars is Against Open-Source Spirit

Hello,

Restricting the use of official national calendars in an open-source ecosystem like WordPress is, in practice, ignoring cultural diversity and real user needs. Just as WordPress supports multiple languages and scripts, calendars are also part of users’ identity.

When a powerful plugin like KiviCare does not allow the use of the Jalali calendar, it effectively excludes a large group of users. This feels like a form of discrimination and goes against the very spirit of the open-source community, which should remain open and extendable for everyone.

We strongly believe that enabling support (or providing hooks) for official calendars such as Jalali (Iran), Indian, Hebrew, or Chinese will not only satisfy users but also strengthen KiviCare’s growth and reputation worldwide.
