Oh, thanks for clarifying. I agree waiting for some monthly user
feedback session wouldn't be ideal; rather, I'd like to see that kind

now I think it's a little intimidating to say "let's just start
getting user feedback" with no other instruction.

Seems like we can go the typical route - vote for timezones and put it
on tinyurl.com/gitcal - but I'll wait to see more people than just you
and I talking about it before we do that ;)
