What we're currently missing is a scheduler (amongst other things). We 
don't have a central service or API which can be used to wake up 
applications at pre-determined times/dates. This clearly means the alarm 
features of the Clock app will be non-functional at the moment.

We have a team already creating the clock core app, and we'd welcome 
additional contributions to that and the other core apps:-

As you may have seen the design team have posted a blog detailing the 
Clock app patterns.

Core apps discussion happens over on a separate mailing list you'll find 
here:-
