Dear Tom, Joe and Other Calendar People
I've added something to the talk page of Computus. You may wish to
continue the discussion there at

Subject: Gregorian calendar jitter and lunar calendar in Wikipedia
computus
Joe Kress and others:
I noticed that in the Wikipedia article on the computus (http://
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computus), at some time the explanation has
been removed how the use of a separate solar and lunar
"equation" (=correction) prevents introducing the jitter in the
Gregorian solar calendar into its lunar calendar. Is that
intentional? I make a point of it because some years ago Heiner
Lichtenberg published some papers on the Lilius lunar calendar, in
which he promotes the idea that the calendar could be simplified/
improved by distributing the net 43 corrections evenly; which is not
a bright idea as explained in the deleted paragraph.
