What would a lunar calendar look like?

First see this great answer on considerations when making a calendar.

Consider a human colony on our own moon. Let's assume that the colony is influenced by the Gregorian calendar. Let's suppose the colony has no reason to keep that calendar so has decided to, or evolved into, a different calendar that means more to what life would be like on the moon. I'm mostly interested in what would mark "days", "weeks", "months" and "years", if they would have a need for any. I'm not really interested in epochs, associated mythology, etc.

I'm not sure if things are significantly different on the Moon such that different hemispheres would warrant different calendars, so I've asked What is the best (NASA preferred) location for a lunar colony? on Space Exploration.
