I am using the ISO week, so that would be helpful.

However, I want to have a page (Summary-2007W21) list all journal
entries for that week. Each week, there will be a new summary page. In
six months, a visitor should be able to visit Summary-2007W21 and see
the same pages as they would this week.

I've thought of using pagelist mapping to (:Week:2007W21:).[1]
However, that necessitates that the page author embed the PTV, which
may be asking a bit much. Maybe I can ROSPattern the template so the
value is stored when the page is saved.

Hmm. I may have to put together a recipe that breaks the pagename into
the prefix/date (Summary-2007W21 into array(Summary, 2007W21)) then
feeds the date into a pagelist. Then, it becomes a question of
creating each week's summary page on Mondays, which is easily enough
done.

[1]:  (:pagelist $:Week=2007W21:)
