There is an issue with locale settings on the myExperiment perspective. 
 The interface to myExperiment transfers dates in language-specific 
form and the myExperiment perspective did not specify the language to be 
used for decoding the dates.

So a date in May will say "May" and someone working in Germany may not 
be able to parse it as they are expecting "Mai".

There is a workaround, which is to edit Taverna's execution script to 
include the option -Duser.language=en as part of the Java command.

This has been fixed for 2.1.2.  See 
http://www.mygrid.org.uk/dev/issues/browse/T2-1157

What problems did Dayang have adding a new plugin?  That is, I think, a 
separate issue.
