[Mediawiki-l] non-utc time variables

[cohesion]

It seems like it would be a common request, but I can't seem to find
the solution. How can I set the time offset so that time variables
like {{CURRENTDAYNAME}} are based on something other than UTC. I am
running mediawiki for a small group of geographically homogeneous
users and having things be based on UTC is very confusing for them.

I have read http://mail.wikipedia.org/pipermail/mediawiki-l/2004-April/000357.html
but that seems to be addressing a different problem.

Thanks for your help :)
