Maybe the task should be changed so the example time given is in terms of a base string plus some indication of your local timezone, such as that given, for EST. If the fact that the calculation should include a change in daylight saving time, then that should be added to the task description too. --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] 12:42, 14 May 2009 (UTC) |

: I would like to modify the task so you can initialize the date in the most natural way for the language, not via timestamp string parsing. (Date parsing is already presented in some of the data munging tasks.) For example, Java would use a Date or Calendar constructor. Hopefully, that would eliminate the timezone confusion and make the task more language inclusive. --[[User:IanOsgood|IanOsgood]] 14:51, 26 June 2009 (UTC) |
