Dear Matthew,

Thanks a lot for your follow-up comment!

> We would have to start maintaining a parallel database that mapped
tzdata zone names, in and out of daylight saving, to their common
abbreviations. Common names would be even harder because they’d need
translating into multiple languages.

The only open point I can read from your comment is actually this one.

How do you suggest to proceed? Would it be worthwhile maintaining a
parallel database and what could the potential contribution of users
look like to this project?

~Robert

Title:
  Adding time zones to locations of indicator-datetime

Status in indicator-datetime package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Dear all,

  May I suggest the feature to add time zones, e.g. CEST, EDT, directly
  to the very useful locations menu?

  Currently only city names are supported.

  I am attaching two screenshots:

  1. showing the locations menu
  2. a mockup of how I envision the time zone to be represented in the indicator

  Thankfully,

  ~Robert
