But it's a solar calendar!

If you are going to make a calendar that's all about the moon, find a way to make it lunar or lunisolar!

Good point!

When this was proposed in 1989 [1], I think the intention was to get people to use it a bit! So it helps being close to Gregorian Calendar.

Though it didn't catch on, still an interesting proposal.

I would have enjoyed Newton for one of the months, maybe replacing Archimedes.

I would have liked Newton on it too. Nothing against Archimedes though.. :)
