Re: [O] How to make weeks start from Sunday and be numbered from a custom date

[Bill Burdick]

Have you tried customizing org-agenda-format-date with a function?  Here's the doc string:

"Format string for displaying dates in the agenda.

Used by the daily/weekly agenda and by the timeline.  This should be

a format string understood by `format-time-string', or a function returning

the formatted date as a string.  The function must take a single argument,

a calendar-style date list like (month day year)."

If you're mostly concerned about displaying dates, rather than reading them in, that might do the trick.

I believe the answer is "no" to both questions: these are ISO week
numbers and org depends on calendar functions to calculate them.
