+1 For creating this Datetime toolkit
The functions in the initial version look useful and make code a lot more readable

How can I contribute to add functions such as :

/**
* Convert a timestamp into an string ISO format
* use 'man strptime' to get the list of available format
*/

public rstring timestampToISO(timestamp dtime)
{
mutable Sys.tm timetuple = { } ;
time(dtime, timetuple) ;
/*
* %Y The year, including century (for example, 1991).
* %m The month number (1-12).
* %d or %e The day of month (1-31).
*/
rstring dateString = strftime(timetuple, "%Y-%m-%d") ;

/*
* %T        Equivalent to %H:%M:%S
*/
rstring timeString = strftime(timetuple, "%T") ;
/*
 *  %z     An RFC-822/ISO 8601 standard timezone specification.
 */
rstring timeZoneString = strftime(timetuple, "%z") ;


float64 milliseconds =(float64) getNanoseconds(dtime) / 1000000f ;
return dateString + "T" + timeString + "." +(rstring)((uint32) milliseconds) + timeZoneString ;

}

Once the repository is created, you can fork it, make changes and issue a pull request to have those changes become part of the toolkit.

There are some teething issues in setting up new repositories, once this has been resolved proposals should be accepted more quickly.

repository has been created and additions can be discussed there. Opening a new issue with above in it in the streamsx.datetime repos.
