[Design] [Cosmo][Sum] Time-zones on Cosmo UI

[Priscilla Chung]

Mimi send out a summary of the time-zones on the Cosmo UI: http:// 
lists.osafoundation.org/pipermail/design/2006-November/005724.html

I just wanted to pull it out of the 'Login-related workflows update'  
thread to confirm the direction we're taking:

*Not Logged-in Cosmo*
+ The calendar canvas will be viewed in floating time-zone (ie. if  
you have 2 events at 2:00pm PST and 2:00pm EST, they both show up at  
2:00pm)
+ Clicking on an individual event will display the time-zone  
information it was created in the detail view (ie. PST, EST etc).

*Logged-into Cosmo*
+ If time-zone support is turned off, the calendar canvas displays  
events in floating time. Selecting on individual events displays no  
information about time-zones in the detail view. There are no labels  
for the calendar canvas, the collection and for the individual item.

+ If time-zone support is turned on, then the user will make a  
selection from the pull down (where Floating is one of the options).  
Based on the selection, the events will adjust accordingly on the  
calendar canvas. When selecting on the individual events the time- 
zone information will appear in the detail view.

*Note: When you subscribe to a collection and add it to your Cosmo  
account:

*If time-zone support is turned on*
+ Based on the selection, the events will adjust accordingly on the  
calendar canvas. When selecting on the individual events the time- 
zone information will appear in the detail view based on the time- 
zone it was created in.

*If time-zone support is turned off*
+ The events appear positioned on the canvas in floating time.   
Selecting on individual events displays no information about time- 
zones in the detail view. There are no labels for the calendar  
canvas, the collection and for the individual item.

Understandably, this last case (if TZ is turned off) may not be as  
fluid as we'd like, especially when you just saw the time-zone before  
subscribing. I'm just going to file a bug to revisit the time-zone  
issue for future.
