Website Renewal

[George Patterson]

I'm of the opinion that the RSS calendar feeds should have their
events in UTC and the clients should adjust to the user preferences.
Mainly because the concept of local time breaks when you try and
bridge it over different timezones. You may not know what time offset
you are from another location but you will know the offset from UTC.

(Yes, that is basically what Jared has stated but wanted to add extra weight.)
There should be a script out there that would act as a proxy to
re-write the rss/ical/whatever with the appropriate timezone applied,
but again you need to know what the user's timezone is.

Regards
