using time zones
I think it would be helpful to tag the (active) user pages with time zone informations for inter-user-coordination and for interest. Look at my first steps Category:TimezoneMiddleEurope with templates. What do you think about it? --Peu 13:04, 23 October 2006 (EDT)

 * What's the name of your timezone (the distance to UTC is -6 right?) --Peu 14:42, 23 October 2006 (EDT)
 * Current sig time for me is EDT (UTC-4). I want to change it to CET (UTC+1). How? – Smiddle / T&middot;C&middot;S&middot;A 15:30, 23 October 2006 (EDT)

Timezone naming conventions
May I propose improving the names of individual timezones, to a more logical and user-friendly way. I'm suggesting they all begin with the UTC and hour difference, then a dash, then either any local name or primary city. A few examples: This would then make it easier to sort within this mother category, and would help to clarify actual differences between individual timezones of users/people.
