Description
Trac should allow an admin to configure the date and time format.
It could and should follow python's strftime format table.
It would mean for example 2 more config directives under [trac], for example:
dateformat = %Y - %b - %d timeformat = %H:%M:%S
those would then be passed to strftime() whenever a visual representation was needed.

You can change the date format if you define a custom locale: TracFaq#how-do-i-change-the-format-used-for-displaying-date-and-time

By default it should be in ISO format ala YYYY-MM-DD for the dates.
I agree
Me too
ISO-8601 for the win! ISO-8601 sorts properly, is unambiguous regarding what is year or month or day.
An alternative is allowing the user to set up their own preference. While selecting a locale is nice, hardly any of the available locales are useful for developers. Therefore allowing an override/customize for date and time formats would be highly desirable.
