That way I can specify that milestone X needs to be done by 5PM PST on October 31, 2007, or whenever. Now, if Eli then takes a look at the due date, he'll see that it's due at 7PM CST on October 31, 2007. This is fine, as it's the same time. I don't really see how this affects the current situation, as that simply picks midnight as the due date. I that was midnight EST, then it'll be 9pm PST for me. I don't see how this is an issue? It's still due at the same time. Any given time in one part of the world, is a different time in another part of the world. Now, I'm +1 on the change, as it gives people more granularity, which is nice. Especially since, for businesses at least, they'll want to pick around 5pm as the due time. -John --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Trac Development" group.
