Re: [Orgmode] org-read-date minibuffer bindings:

[T. V. Raman]

Incidentally, it might be worthwhile to promote org-read-date to
all of Emacs as read-date -- Emacs needs a good date-picker
widget alongside things like read-file and org-read-date is the
best I've seen. Incidentally I'm planning to update gcal.el (part
of emacs-g-client)
to use org-read-date if available.
