add a `timestamp` field #6

Note that timestring is ambiguous, especially with the presence of timezone. The UNIX epoch time is better for interfacing. At the frontend, the timestamp can be translated to different local presentation.

Sorry for such a delay on this.

Not a bad idea, but a couple points.

1) The spreadsheet is meant for not technical people, assumingly folks who do not know what a timestamp is. 2) There is a display date field which basically overrides how things get displayed.

What I would like to do is use Moment.js for parsing of the date so that any data format could be supported instead of the silly US format that is supported by browsers.

But if you really want this feature do feel free to code it up and do a pull request.
