Let's say I'm a software developer living in the US.

I download Zope 3 to use it. I create a folder on my new Zope 3 server. 
The dates all look wrong. The first thing I have to do is learn where 
the user-preferences are and how they work, so I can say I'm working in 
EST (or whatever).

But, the workstation I'm using has its local time / timezone set 
correctly. So, I should be saved the effort.

Also, when my local time offset changes due to daylight savings, will I 
need to change my time offset in my personal preferences?
Every other application on my computer that presents my with a local 
time will have changed itself. Why not zope?
