Hi Will,
Thanks much for the feedback! Yes, though it isn't really illustrated
on the storyboards or wireframes, the ability to specify the date-time
format is described in Storycard #5 "Allow user to interact with and
type dates in the text field." I just edited it a bit to try to make
it more clear:
Determine the format of any populated date text field (e.g. mm-dd-
yyyy), and the format of the date text fields when the date picker is
closed by:
Allowing implementers to specify the default date format.
Allowing the date picker to receive input from the a particular user's
preferences settings about how they would like to format the date field.
The Date Picker Storycards are available at: http://wiki.fluidproject.org/display/fluid/Date+Picker+Storycards
. We'll have something very similar for the Time Picker.
Cheers,
Allison

This looks like great progress! Love the wireframes, the storyboards,
the user-testing -- well done!
I've got a question, of course :) -- I presume the date-formats are
locale-friendly or at least formattable via settings somehow? Such as
25-Dec-2008 or 2008-12-25 or 25/12/2008 etc? (If that's discussed in
the date-picker pages I obviously missed it...)

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!
