Feedback requested on Fluid's Date-Time Picker

[Allison Bloodworth]

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

> 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!
