Classic scandian date methodology -- each week is a Scandian month. Earth's Monday - Friday get four Scandian days each, whereas weekends - Saturday and Sunday - get five Scandian Days each. Thus all Scandian nonths are thirty days long. The lunar month is figured as 29 days long. The script can display little moon-phase images.

The script depends on the date on the computer of the viewer, so things will be off a bit across earth. That never bothered us before.

I wrote a similar script for Aurora to run at 2X Earth, using earth's calendar. In that scheme the months have their familiar lengths, and leap years even happen properly. I could just as easily modify that to display Scandia's date at our present (or any other) rate.
