So far, I have one issue with the new tracker: the timezone.

When editing my details I saw there is a field for my timezone.  The
comment says: "this is a numeric hour offset, the default is UTC", so
I'm assuming it counts in whole hours (fine for me, not so fine for
people in e.g. India, unless it accepts decimal notation).  I have two
issues with this: it's unclear which direction this works (is East
positive or negative?), and I will need to change this number twice
yearly.  In other words, it shouldn't be a number, it should be a name,
like the names used in Linux: Europe/Amsterdam.

Looks nice otherwise.
