I agree with Jignesh, the default locale being en-us, the default date
format should be en-us. If we decide to have an "international" default
locale then the format should be ISO8601 instead.

in any case, not '%d-%m-%Y'

Title:
  default date format should use one of the most used date format
  instead of one of the least used one

Status in OpenERP Server:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  '_get_default_date_format' method in
  'openerp/addons/base/res/res_lang.py' returns the least used one in
  the world according to
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Date_format_by_country : '%m/%d/%Y' which
  is used in 2 countries in the world: USA and Belize.

  IMHO, The default one should be '%d-%m-%Y' which is used by most
  countries and also by the biggest population in the world.

  This method is used when you install a new language because the
  'date_format' is not defined in the data files. So whenever a new
  language is added to the system, its date_format is '%m/%d/%Y' which
  is wrong in the majority of cases.

  I think that method should returns the commonly used '%m/%d/%Y' format
  and res.lang data files should add a specific date_format to some
  languages when necessary.
