I think this is a great case where tight design/test iterations would be very useful. I'd like to consider this issue for 1.5.

dojox presently has no facility for dijit._Calendar mixins. The dojox.widget.Calendar already has such a feature, but it is not based off common dijit code and did not go through anything like a design review.

I saw #10002 but couldn't understand where the code has to be altered to make a year drop down.I understand an year drop down is not a good idea but it's mandatory to be done.
Bill, can you please post some code for the year drop down.I'll be eternally grateful!

Sorry, I don't have any sample code for a year drop down or other selection method. That's why the ticket is still open. It's not a trivial task.

Okay,it would be great if I could get heads up on where to start working to include an year dropdown! I could try and post here if I am successful!

A year drop-down is arguably not a good UI for selecting distant years. One alternative is an editable text area, perhaps there are other ways to achieve this.

Peller,I understand that it's definitely not a good idea to include an year drop-down but the problem is my manager not being able to see it!If I need to make the year as an editable text area,where should I be doing it.I am pretty new to dojo :(

Given that no one has shown interest in creating a patch in the past 5+ years, I'm closing this as patchwelcome.
I'm not sure that anything beyond the left/right arrow keys for years (see #6570) is suitable for dijit's Calendar, which I want to keep simple. The year can be changed via typematic, which means that just holding down the button can scroll 100 years (just like spinner) easily. It's not obvious now because we don't have arrow icons but once we do that seems sufficient.
I'l leave this ticket open but probably will move it to DojoX component (after some thought/discussion).
