The 'time' field for Date in events is currently under-explained and fiddly to use with default jquery timepicker.

Date for Drupal 7 now includes the ability to use wvega Google-style time-pickers, however until then there's a patch to allow a basic time dropdown, which is still a huge improvement on default jquery... and it explains things better (if you look at the time field currently, it's just a blank box with an input format explanation in tiny letters underneath).

Btw there is also http://drupal.org/project/datetweaks which uses wvega

I tried this though and my experience wasn't good... Firstly the 'all day' widget doesn't work right in a few different ways (mainly around it trying to do clever stuff with durations combined with trying to restore previous data, disabling fields etc), and secondly that it's yet more javascript, which Commons is probably heavy enough with already.

I think I'm happy without anything too fancy in this particular case.
