Frank: The issue came up with respect to implementing "events". Someone else indicated that certain scripts that use the underlying servers time with LSL calls would be affected.
So, it isnt a sun issue so much as a side affect on co-ordinating things from region to region with events, scripts and similar.

Umm. How? The "time" function was removed from the [sun] section of opensim.ini because it had no effect.

Now that we seem heading towards some semblance of a consensus, let me open two itty-bitty "Pandora's Boxen" that others have described to me. But, there are sims running in folks homes and on servers where for other then OpenSim reasons, these folks wish the server (or desktop computer in some cases) to run on the local timezone, where ever it is. These reasons run from needing mail programs like Outlook to work correctly. These folks end up at a disadvantage unless we can tell them how to ensure their OpenSim clock is on UTC. Another issue is that the SL client itself seems to favor PST, so we have client perceptions to deal with. Although as other clients gain some wider use, this issue is likely to resolve itself over time. I would not want either of these to stop a movement towards an OpenSim Metaverse timezone, but, these are the two major issues that folks have discussed with me that currently cause them angst.
