Please express all dates in an unambiguous format.

On the webpage (and the problems exists on other pages)
http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/os?op0=OR&filter0%5B%5D=Linux

There is the text
>>>

this is Obviously 21-Aug-2007

But above that it says 
>>>
    First released: Thu, 05/10/2007 
<<<
Is this 05-Sep-2007 or 10-May-2007?
Well I can see the other date, so I know the later is correct, in this case.

So please, change all dates so there is no ambiguity.

I know that in the UK and NZ, we use the order day/month/year, as I suspect a
lot of other countries do.  Not everyone has adopted the American date format.
