All times should link to a thing that shows you in your local time. Currently using zonestamp, might fork that and make it a community tool.

Possibly add JS, that automatically shows times in your local time. Will need some work to codify how people's timezone is administrated in the wiki.

I'd love a user script that would automatically convert a UTC time in my current time :)

Just to show how dangerous this brainstorming thing is; I'm now at the stage where that simple script has turned into "i'm gonna build a better meetup.com" in my brain :D

Weeell I'm actually very interested in having a proper global calendar tool to document community events, so don't ask me twice :D

My trigger for this was someone pointed out that https://www.worldclock.com/ (or similar site) was full of trackers and other nasty things. Have a nice easy trackerless alternative would be nice.

also very interested... the community events team is working on a calendar for all wmf funded events but having links working in people's own timezones would be invaluable. I can think of a million uses. :)

On a similar topic, do we have user page templates for timezones, like we have for languages?
