Good afternoon. It would be cool if we could display the local user time of remote contacts like how Skype does[0]. The most logical place to me to put this information feels like PEP like with the other location stuff.
I've attached a patch which simply adds a timezone element to XEP-0080: User Location. Have I missed something here? Is there somewhere more appropriate for this information? (Yes, you could work out the timezone from the location, but not only is that annoying because then you'd need to do some kind of coordinate → timezone translation) but I also get the feeling people would be happier to disclose their timezone, and less keen to disclose their location coordinates (even when fuzzed). What do you think? Cheers, 0. http://blogs.gnome.org/wjjt/2012/05/11/maps-and-clocks-and-contact-locations/ -- Jonny Lamb
