You can look at the basic work I did yesterday on making a date field widget in my sandbox. There is also an issue in the CCK issue queue to address the code.

Someone please take over. At least parts of my approach are quite good and can be used in a final solution. Other bits are clearly a fudge because a final solution is going to be a lot of work.

Known issues:

  • Day seems to be offset by -1 after going through format_date
  • Time zone support is nonexistant
  • Multiple values support is nonexistant
  • Dependency on timestamp conflicts with the underlying ISO 8601 storage format

KarenS has been working on a much more aggressive and useful piece of code:

People, go test it!

now as a separate module

FYI: KarenS's code now lives in its own module: http://drupal.org/project/date

it works great
