Input type Date is confusing

[Sohalt]

When creating a question with type date it is not clear for the user how they should input the date. It would be helpful to prevent wrong input from being entered into the text field at all (as opposed to just disabling the submit button) and telling the user how to input dates.
Additionally it would be nice if different (localized) ways of inputting dates were supported.
Otherwise a datepicker for selecting the answer would also be very nice.

Hey @Sohalt that's a great idea & suggestion. I'm a bit swamped right now with work so I don't see myself changing this in the future, but I am very happy to look at a PR that implements this.

Thanks. I sadly don't now either angular meteor, so I can't fix it right away. Maybe I'll find the time to learn it. Can you give me some hints where to look for the validation code? I couldn't find anything grepping for regex or date or similar.

@Sohalt just saw your reply, sorry! I'm fairly sure that there is no validation at the moment, and I can imagine that it would happen on the html tag. Angular probably even has some validation already for this. I think the easiest way of doing this might be to add a dropdown calendar selector directive.
