[IxDA Discuss] Handling Timezones and DST

[Dave (Heller) Malouf]

I think more information is needed here:
1. what is the overall purpose of time tracking?
2. is this a collaborative space?
3. does collaboration exist across time zones?
etc. etc.

Our application is quite complex b/c time is actually contains legal 
liability, so messin' w/ timezones gets yucky. I don't like our current 
solution for it, but we are in the midst of making some changes. We 
haven't come to consensus yet, but we do have a sense of the level of 
complexity from both a technical and a user experience point of view.
