DW3000 "missing manual" notes

Overall

The DW3000 is an exciting part, available as a convenient Arduino-shield eval board with good distribution. HOWEVER, this is NOT a "maker friendly" part with SparkFun or Adafruit type tutorials and examples! It is a sophisticated radio that can be the heart of a positioning system, but you have to do quite a lot of heavy lifting to get there.

For basic use, the older-but-still-good DW1000 may be a better choice; interface libraries are available for Arduino and Raspberry Pi. Or look into packaged location-system vendors, like Estimote, Pozyx, Ubitrack and many others

Proposal for a date system overhaul

The Problem

FullCalendar was initially designed without much notion of timezones. By default, it ignores timezone offsets in the dates it receives.

The original assumption was that if you received a date from Brussels, say "2013-09-01T12:00:00+02:00", which is noon, it would display as noon in every timezone.

However, FullCalendar shoehorns this value into a local date. With the same example, if you were in San Francisco, it internally stores the date as "2013-09-01T12:00:00-08:00". This is bad for two reasons:
