How does OSQA handle timezone issues? How about the sximporter?

How does OSQA handle timezone issues? I'm asking because all times imported in the StackExchange importer is off by 8 hours, which is the time difference between Pacific Time (where my server is) and UTC (the timezone used by data in StackExchange data dumps).

I'm happy to patch this problem myself, but before I hack up importer.py, I was wondering if OSQA has any concept of time zone (e.g. store data in UTC and translate into local time when displaying).

@Justin, you're pretty good at this, but sometimes just a little bit off. Please make sure your postings have a full, proper question as their title. We're going to become more hardass about this to keep the Q&A nature clear.
