Format used by date picker: 07/21/2015
Format used by Django, when generating the form on the Account settings page: 2015-07-21

Task: change (2) so that it matches (1), in terms of what the user sees

(Unless there is some reason why this is infeasible to do) I would like to display the date as mm/dd/yyyy, as I said when I posted this issue. Sorry if it was unclear.

Reasons for this design decision:

yyyy-mm-dd is not a date format people are used to seeing, so it may be confusing
Registration form uses mm/dd/yyyy and I want date formatting to be consistent across the site.

I might change it myself eventually but it's not important enough to warrant an open issue
