If you think of the year as 52 weeks rather than in terms of months, it works out:
2 weeks = 1 fortnight
4 weeks = 1 month
13 weeks = 1 quarter
26 weeks = 1 semester
the basic structure is fine, but there are a number of details that could be improved.
counting days/months/years from 0 rather than 1 makes the clock and calendar numbering systems the same. It also avoids imposing Roman month names on a world that is predominantly not Roman.
using Dec 21 as the day outside of the months (and Jun 21 as the leap day) aligns the calendar with the seasons
theAbysmal Calendar's put a lot of work into this over the past 20 years.
