OK.

One of the pieces of work I'm doing for Leeds is to split deadlines into
dates and times (just to make life clearer for managers).  I wanted to
make sure it wasn't already there before doing the work and charging
them!

Looks like it.

Yeah.  Have you got anything in WebLearn that improves this?

No :-(
What we do have is a JavaScript calendar widget for picking the 
time/date which makes it much easier.

Grab a copy of the WAR from:

http://dev.weblearn.ox.ac.uk/cruisecontrol/buildresults/weblearn/

and you should be able to see how it works. We could probably give you 
access to the WebLearn CVS so you could pull the code across if it 
solves the problems.

I suspect you may already have done the refactoring that I've just done
then.  Hey ho.

Are you working on Bodington HEAD? I believe I pushed across some stuff 
to cleanup date/time parsing that made deadlines allow dates/times 
although the interface doesn't tell the users this.

Bodington has some problems with deadlines in that it isn't very good at 
telling the users when they are.
