Whiteboard

GZ: May I add a request: For historical applications it should be possible to simulate "Local Mean Time", i.e. time of the longitude of location, not timezone which have only been introduced in the late 19th century. Maybe even in addition "Local Solar Time", i.e. mean time corrected by the equation of time, so that the sun culminates sharply at 12 noon on every day. The equation of time plugin could be integrated into main app for this, and equation of time display should be an optional line that could either go into Sun's infostring, or be displayed as now (if user selects to display it). Note that the latter idea might however confuse "normal" users. (Is it time for an "Expert Mode"?)
