Things have progressed well during the last two weeks.
The user-selected TimeZone object is now available in the service engine and the screen rendering
environment. Many thanks to David Jones and Jacopo Cappelleto for getting that committed and also
for catching and fixing some of the ripple
This is really a confusing theme.
On one hand, as an informaticien (it's the word for software engineer here in
France) I would love to see everybody in this world
using an unique sortable date format. I like to see order in things and yes I'm
very puzzled too with all these date formats.

While I'd love to see all people in the world using this sortable date
format, GMT time and speaking spanish :P, I have to face reality in form

Hi David,
Do you mean that dates from i.e. OrderItem will be stored in the
database under the user timezone?

David,
Sorry for the dumb question.
OrderItem was just an example.
I thought you meant storing dates in the user locale in the database. Of
course the answer is no.

Thank you very much for the clarification. I'm not sure people are as easily
confused as you suggest.

No, there is no issue set up yet.

As Adrian said there isn't one, but I don't think we're ready for one either.
The dev mailing list is much better for, and is really meant for, discussions
like this.

What do you mean ready for it?
I was thinking about beginning some development for it to get done, not
for discussing it (at least not discussing IF it should get done but HOW
should it get done). If no one else is interested on this I will
eventually submit a patch and then you can discuss
It's great to see effort going into this, so thanks Adrian!

I think that David refers to the -mm-dd... format, that can be
simply sorted as a string keeping the correct time sequence.
This is actually a standard de facto in ERP systems (together with the
numer representation, with the same features, of mmdd... as integer)
Jacopo
It's the format we use everywhere. Descending means start with the biggest unit
and continue to the smallest (ie year, month, day, hour, minute, second,
partial second).

I have been working on making the Workeffort calendar support user-selected
locales and time zones.
Steps accomplished so far:
1. Fixed date computation bug in the calendar code
2. Provided a time zone drop-down list and user time zone selection persistence
3. Re-write the bsh and ftl files to
23 matches
