According to the wiki page, the Disscordian calendar corresponds exactly to the Gregorian calendar (with some contrarian disputes about corresponding to the Julian calendar). The significant difference is in naming.

It would be good for the task itself to specify the naming required, rather than requiring us to extract them from that wiki page.

But, also, if dates are represented numerically, the identity function is sufficient to convert a gregorian date to a discordian date, except that the year needs to be adjusted.

Thus, at present, this task is underspecified.
