I had a look at that : http://trac-hacks.org/wiki/DateFieldPlugin and
this http://trac-hacks.org/wiki/CustomFieldAdminPlugin, but it seems
not to translate the date entered in the UI toward the MM-DD-YYYY
format that seems to be used internally by Trac...

Unless I misused something, it thus does not solve the problem.

I may be mistaken about the importance of this for the current Trac
community, just wanted to voice that this is a showstopper for
probably a lot of people that evaluate the tool, I may be wrong of
course, but it is hard to pitch a project management tool that does
not get dates.

I understand it is hard work to properly handle field types and
widgets in a general way but I have this nagging feeling that
admitting that the pivot date is the "us" format and translating from
and back to it should be doable. It would at least help people working
on non "us" projects as long as they don't work in multi cultural team
i.e : the date format would have to be fixed by project and not adapt
to the locales values of the user. But it would still be much better
and cover a lot of use cases.

I am really too new to Trac to hope achieve that, but I'll get a timid
look at it tomorrow still.

Are there other people having the same problem that I do to be able to
pick up Trac as their tool of choice ?

Thanks for the help.
