I really don't want you to mess with DWM dates, though. It's not what this project is about at all, and it's a nightmare. That's a whole separate project, and I need to come up with some way of enforcing the correct date so that we have a list somewhere that's always known to be correct. It needs to be enforced through calculation in the template, so that all people have to do is add the correct cover date, and the rest is automatically generated, period. For whwatever reason, people have just never understood DWM dates at all, and as soon as I turn my back, the earlier work just goes down the toilet.

And I have no idea how to reliably find the precise release dates for anything while DWM was truly monthly — so between the end of Weekly and DWM 164. I mean we have dates for DWW, obviously, but after that, all we have are months, unless someone kept a better record of things.
