Whould it be too Germany-centristic to have the time field set to +2 (and +1 in Winter) by default (only in the de.wikipedia of course)? And also for not logged-in users?
I guess more than 90% of the German language Wikipedia contributors are from Germany, Austria or Swiss.
Could you also do it for Polish Wikipedia ? (the same timezone)
I don't see why not... is there summer time/daylight savings to deal with, or is it just a straight UTC+1?
There is summer and winter time, and that's why server must deal with it, as you can1't expect everyone to fix their preferences every few months.
Most of Europe is +1/+2, even parts where this doesn't make much sense (but compatibility is more important).
Afair only Portugal, UK, Ireland (+0/+1) on the West and Finland and former USSR republics (+2/+3) on the East use different time than that.
