Hi Thomas,

As Sebastian wrote, there is no "date picker" view helper delivered with 
fluid.
I guess every view helper that needs to include JavaScript (or even a 
complete JS library) would be a so called "widget".
For those we'll still have to come up with a good concept.

They'll have to be able to conveniently import custom scripts to the 
header / footer and some of them will need a server side component to 
communicate with.. Hopefully we can implement this with 4.4.

In the meantime I would just write your own view helper - if you're 
happy with it, feel free to share it ;)
Or - as Masi mentioned - use a standard text box and an "unobtrusive" JS 
calendar that activates itself if you give the text box a certain CSS 
class e.g.

Best,
