I am going to move this discussion over to the design list as we are definitely in design territory now. (Thread on Cosmo list: http:// lists.osafoundation.org/pipermail/cosmo-dev/2007-October/004860.html)
Bobby showed me the dojo date picker and I think with some tweaks, it'd be a good add-on. (I think ultimately we still want better data validation and/or natural language parsing so that users can use the quick entry field to schedule events, etc...but this looks like a lower cost, more immediate solution to the problem of entering dates.)
I think however we want invest in a few workflow tweaks and customize the picker widget a bit.
1. Auto-fill the date/time fields with today's date: https:// bugzilla.osafoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10962
2. Add the date/time picker to the detail view *and* the go-to-date field.
3. Get rid of the AM/PM radio buttons in the detail view (yayy!!) 4. Mimi to specify CSS improvements to date picker widget5. Make it so date picker automatically drops down when user clicks into date/time field (IOW, no date picker icon!)
6. Increase the default font-size 7. Get rid of the extra (small arrow) navigation 8. Make it possible for the user to manually edit the date/time fieldsGiven all of this work, not sure where this functionality should land in the schedule. It seems like at the very least, we can do #1 right away?
Here's the screenshot Bobby sent me of the date picker as it is by default:
