If you create a form with a date field with today default value, you can
see that there is a confusion between the month and the day :  today is
Nov. 12 and the field says Dec. 11.

Examples : http://fr.test.libreoffice.org/formulaire-de-contact/ and
http://de.test.libreoffice.org/kontakt/

It's not the wrong date, it just uses a bad/confusing format
(DD/MM/YYYY) so it mixes german/european ordering with US/american
delimiter. Today it should b e clear, as not it defaults to 13/11/2011
- and there is no month number 13 :-)
You can also verify by clicking on the entry box to open the calendar to choose

But yes, there is a mixup between internal value and then what the
from expects as input.

But having the datefield on there doesn't really make sense, as the
date of submission is stored anyway. And what sense would it have to
let a user specify another date than the current date when giving
feedback?

Also the forms don't make use of the spam protector field, that would
add a recaptcha (this might be on purpose, but in case there will be
problem with spam, remember that there is the possibility to add a
recaptcha)

So just remove that field for now.

ciao
Christian
