Date picker from galaxy tool inputs

[annefou]

The goal is to be able to select a date by displaying a calendar (see https://jqueryui.com/datepicker/).

@annefou I guess it would help if you start collecting use-cases. E.g. I imagine you need to select year-rages or even centuries?

[annefou]

Yes, year ranges, month ranges (for climatologies), century ranges, seasons, etc. And you are right, the best to clarify our needs is to collect use-cases. I think we will get there (slowly) together with the developments of climate tools associated to a set of use cases (workflow).

Should be simpler using cftime (https://unidata.github.io/cftime/).
