Two questions:
1. My work week starts on Sunday, so I have:
(setq org-agenda-start-on-weekday 0)
Now the agenda timeline starts on Sunday as desired. However, it says on
top "Week agenda (W34-W35)", i.e. it still thinks that the week starts on
Monday. Can I change that?
2. It would be very useful for me if the weeks were numbered from the week
when my big work project started. Can I have the week numbering customized
to have W01 on a certain date?

I believe the answer is "no" to both questions: these are ISO week
numbers and org depends on calendar functions to calculate them.

Have you tried customizing org-agenda-format-date with a function? Here's
the doc string:
"Format string for displaying dates in the agenda.
Used by the daily/weekly agenda and by the timeline. This should be
a format string understood by `format-time-string', or a function returning
the formatted date as a string. The function must take a single argument,
a calendar-style date list like (month day year)."
If you're mostly concerned about displaying dates, rather than reading them
in, that might do the trick.

This sounds good. However, it requires knowledge of eLisp, which I cannot
claim to possess. I would very much appreciate a code snippet that would
get me started in the right direction.
