Comment 1 for bug 920806

Problem now is that e.g. difference between m/d and d/m may differ
throughout a notebook and zim can not automatically detect it for
dates like "1/2". So we need a precise representation.

Development is ongoing to make due dates more user friendly, but
depends on the "inline objects" feature. Basically this means that the
date will be an object (or "special field" in the jargon of word
processors) such that it's internal representation and it's user
representation can be seperated. In this way we store internally the
full "YYYY-MM-DD" but we can show the user e.g. "23 jan" based on
preferences. In addition clicking the date would bring up a calendar
widget, so it can be changed in an intuitive way.
