Hello Sakai community!
At the Fluid Project (http://wiki.fluidproject.org) one of our main
activities is designing and developing usable and accessible user
interface components for you to integrate into your applications.
We hope that the Date-Time Picker we are currently working on could be
used in many of your applications and would love any feedback you
could give us on it. See the email below for more info, and free to
contact Erin or me (or the fluid-work mailing list, in cc:) with any
questions. The Date Picker Design Overview page (http://wiki.fluidproject.org/display/fluid/Date+Picker+Design+Overview
) also has additional background on the component.
Thanks very much, and happy holidays!
Allison

Subject: Date-Time Picker Update
Hi folks,
Erin and I have been making progress on the Date-Time Picker, and
have some new wireframes available for review at: http://wiki.fluidproject.org/display/fluid/Date+Picker+Wireframes
. We are still trying to determine whether to use a "tabbed" (see
wireframes) or "rolling" time picker (see wireframes and http://ets-dev.berkeley.edu:8901/trunk/html/timepicker.html)
. If both seem like feasible options to the community, we plan to do
user testing on both of them asap in January. Please let us know if
you have feedback on how either of these two options would work in
your context.
One potential advantage of the tabbed time picker is that it can be
more easily combined with the date picker in cases where date-time
is a single field (e.g. Mneme & Modules in Sakai, see http://wiki.fluidproject.org/display/fluid/Date+Picker+Contexts+of+Use)
. We'd be very interested in hearing from the community about
whether it would be a problem to split date & time into two fields
in these (or other) situations. If so, we are thinking about other
options for combining the 'rolling' time picker with the date
picker, but are not sure these two pieces are well-suited to
becoming a combined component.
We've also been working on localization & internationalization
guidelines for the Date-Time Picker (http://wiki.fluidproject.org/display/fluid/Date+Picker+Functional+Specification
), and would love to have any input from folks on things we may be
missing.
Finally, we are in the process of creating storycards for the Date
Picker portion of the component only (since the Time Picker is still
in flux). Check them out at: http://wiki.fluidproject.org/display/fluid/Date+Picker+Storycards
-- though they are still in draft form, we'd love to hear from
developers as to whether the way we've started to organize them
makes sense.
Happy almost holidays, everyone!
Allison & Erin
