RE: Attaching timezone attributes to my chat list - A Suggestion
The manual user input required (thus without using a reliable datasource) is input which most people even don't know about or input which needs to be looked up on external datasources anyways.
It is not size of the user input which is a problem, it is the constant changing (from year to year) and variations in the required input which is the problem.
If one searches the forum for deadlines of releases of software where the deadline is set at x hour GMT+-y, you'll see that extremely many people (even the ones who initially set the deadline) will get these variables wrong and mix things up (especially when DST is involved).
About external datasources, such sources are extremely reliable and will not change for many many years. In fact the lifespan of such sourcers is many multiples higher than the lifespan of such plugins.
