1: User Timezones - Posting Them Up?

(post mad today, oh well its Friday time to clear out all those
post-it notes to self)

Anyway, I wonder would it be possible to post up what timezone people
are located in (contributors/testers only)? Basically would anbody
object to that being known?

The reason I ask is it much more effective for me to pair up people
who operate in the same timzone, and that info isn't easy to find.

I think this will be vary valuable. Right now we havn't got got a clue where OpenACS users / testers are located. This could be an interesting beginning of community building. Wouldn't it be an idea to make this a default requirement to fill in in the userprofile. At least it will help determining the usefullnes of more localized support.

I also like the map they have at OpenBSD at the bottom of
http://www.openbsd.org/goals.html
(and I think Postgres.org has something similiar).
