I *think* this is the short answer -

The views - index, article, search, admin story list, etc show your
local time.

The story admin form shows the server time.  ( Matt, if this is 
true, can we modify it to be the user's time too?  It's kind of 
confusing this way).

Matt, can you explain better?  Or did I recently introduce a new 
bug?

Never for updates or only if the date/time changed?

Should be able to move the renorm up to where it only applied to new 
articles pretty easily.

Should be fairly straight forward.  We already get the image info 
from the db, but discard all but the first one.  Have to correct 
some array funkiness I think though.
