please, report on current status of orgmode timestamps with timezone

[pinmacs]

Hi,

 From #11 OrgMeetup content [1] I see that a date with timestamp and 
timezone is used:

     <2024-09-11 Wed 19:00-21:00 @+03,Europe/Istanbul>

With orgmode version 9.7.10:

1. If I try to to =C-c C-c= minibuffer says: "Not at a timestamp"; well, 
at least, does not try to remove the timezone part
2. Cannot change anything on it with =S-<up>= nor =S-<down>=
3. If I click the timestamp, minibuffer says: "This should not happen"
4. In the org agenda, the event appears in date 2024-09-11 and in my 
local time 19:00-21:00, so, no timezone calculation is done

I saw that there were some discussions about this, but nothing 
consolidated in the documentation, maybe, at some point, it should be 
here [2]

Is this something is going to arrive on 9.8 ? Is this something that 
only works in development version?

Cheers,
pinmacs

This is an idea we have discussed as a feature request and decided that
we should eventually implement time zone support. We even decided on the
approximate timestamp markup. However, there is no actual code in Org
mode that implements timestamps with time zones. Patches welcome!

See https://list.orgmode.org/87tu063ox2.fsf@localhost/ and the parent
thread for details.
