If I was to do a calendar from scratch, Calc would be my choice as 
well.  I would do one sheet per month, though.

But for some, they might want to print out several months at a time or 
make the whole year a single PDF file.  That is why I choose to start 
with a .doc template.

I am currently working on making the "Monday as the first day of the 
week" A4 paper size version.  There are no holidays, since I do not 
think it is up to me to add them for other countries.

It can easily be changed to other languages, since all you have to do is 
change the names of the days of the week and the names of the months to 
what they are called in the non-English languages.

That is the key, really.  How easy would the calendar file/template be 
able to be modified for the users language, if they are using it as a 
template to make their own language version of the calendar.

Actually, I did not even know that most of the world used Monday as the 
first day of the week, until I was told that the other nations do not 
use the USA's religious calendar where Sunday is the first day and the 
7th day [when God rested in many religions] would be Saturday.  So I had 
to work on modifying my LO themed calendar to "Monday first", plus make 
it work better for the A4 paper size than my other version[s] were.

The real key to these posts/threads is the fact that there are people 
from several areas of the world working on different versions of LO 
themed calendars that our users could download and use.  As soon as we 
find a place to list them all, then we will have a good selection of 
calendars to choose from.  Look at MSO's calendar download page.  Right 
now there are few 2014 calendars all made with Publisher it looks like], 
but they had a lot of variety of 2013 calendars.  I would like to see LO 
users work on making a large variety of 2014 calendars to share with all 
of our users, and a place for them to be displayed - with thumbnails - 
side by side.
