Hi,

I send this post for two reasons. 1) To ask if anyone is working on the 
DateField or any other date related matter. And 2) to start a discussion 
about date field refactoring and design decisions.

Earlier on this list we talked about a problem I had with the DateField 
[1]. Currently, due to the work on a project, there is a need for: date, 
time and datetime fields. Qooxdoo only provides a date field (with a 
very cool datechooser, kudos :-) ). However when I searched the class 
hierarchy and bugzilla I saw the same problem Martin reported as bug 
#3161 (DateField is no ComboBox).

Therefore I have written an AbstractDateField and refactored the current 
DateField to inherit from this class [2]. So please have a look and tell 
me what you think.

I also want to resolve bug #5007 (DateField date format is reset on 
changeLocale event) and #3710 (DateField should not fire "changeValue" 
after locale change, which it does because the underlying ComboBox value 
changes). When these problems are resolved I can build TimeField and 
DatetimeField which I need for my project.

I hope my contribution is welcome as I enjoyed your excellent framework 
for quite some time now.

Regards,
Martijn
