Roger Masse wrote a date widget for our site.  It's non-trivial -- I'll
attach the source (date_widget.ptl).

We also implemented file upload, but 1) browser implementations of HTTP
upload sucks, 2) the code is pretty specific to our site, and 3) it
doesn't use the form/widget library (because our upload code came
first).  So I'm not attaching any code.  If you beg and plead I'll email
it to you separately.  ;-)

Any time!  I forgot to add that all database suck, though some suck less
than others.  ZODB sucks, but it sucks a *lot* less than relational
databases.
