That would be a great idea. I'd love to try it out in action!
Meanwhile, I might do a quick "paper prototype" test with a few friends and 
colleagues with just the screenshot, and you can do so as well: Just show it 
to them and ask them "If you wanted to change the time/date, what would you 
do?". 
- If they don't know what to do at all, you're in trouble ;)
- If everyone would use the up-down buttons, that would be better than 
nothing, but not exactly what we aim for.
- If everyone would try turning the wheel, we'd be almost where we want to be.
- If they'd generally use the wheel, but use the buttons for fine adjustments, 
you'd have hit bulls-eye ;)

Yes, and you'd need a contributor account for your GSoC work anyway, wouldn't 
you?
