Here are initial tasks you need to do in order to get started: 1. Modify `org-element-timestamp-parser' to understand the new syntax 2. Add new tests into testing/test-org-element.el covering various possible timezone variants (basically, add tests for `org-element-timestamp-parser' you modify) 3. make sure that Org tests (make test) are not broken by your changes 4. Find the existing Org functions that should understand timezones, share them here. We will then discuss how they should be modified. -- Ihor Radchenko // yantar92, Org mode maintainer, Learn more about Org mode at <https://orgmode.org/>.
