Ok, that makes sense. Maybe we can unify the language a bit and just
call it a timezone picker so that we're clear that the functionality
we're going to have in Scooby is the same functionality we have in
Chandler.
It seems like there are 2 features here that could be implemented
independently:
1. Timezone picker: A pulldown to change the timezone of the
calendar canvas (not the calendar itself)
2. Scooby persists the timezone selection across user sessions.

Do you mean we need to preserve the timezone from the last user

Yes. Especially if they log on to Scooby from a computer that does
not belong to them. ie. checking on a computer from an internet cafe.
Let's say I live in Chicago and my default timezone is US/Central.
If I am traveling to L.A., I want to change Scooby to US/Pacific
once and then have it remember that timezone until I return to
Chicago or go somewhere else and manually change the timezone
again. I don't want to log back into Scooby while I'm still in
L.A. and have Scooby show up in Central time (my default timezone).
The current behavior in Scooby is that the time zone is set to
whatever time your computer is set to. So if I were to view my
Scooby calendar from a machine at some internet cafe in Chicago,
then it would be set to CT, not my original Scooby calendar at PST.
The 'default' is to allow the users to set their own time zone. So
if the user wants to keep it in PST when looking at their calendar
in Chicago, then they can. So when they log into a computer in an
internet cafe in Chicago, they can view their appointment in PST
and change it to CT if they want to. (That is to say w/out changing
the time in system preferences on the computer).
The proposal is the same drop down box as it is currently in
Chandler. Does that make sense?
