Re: [Wikimedia Cascadia] feature request: add column to Comparison_of_File_Systems

Is there a way to request a feature to be added to Wikipedia? Is there an issue tracking system to request new content? Open source projects often have ticketing/issue tracking systems to tack feature requests, in addition to developer-contributed features that include patches. Here's a case where I see a need in the Wikipedia content, but don't currently have time to address it, and am wondering if there's any resources to submit this request to, if they have spare cycles to work on it. This page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_file_systems needs a new column that shows if the file system uses UTC or local time or some other time for it's files. Below question is a thread from a firmware development mailing list, UEFI firmware is reporting wrong dates in the UEFI Shell. The Apple firmware guys are asking: "I’m guessing more modern filesystems probably store the time in UTC?" The above Wikipedia Comparison page is very good. If it had this data, it would be better, and useful in this specific case (and probably other software, not just below case), so the UEFI apps would get correct file dates. Unfortunately, I currently don't have time to research all of it at the moment. Apparently, FAT, CDS (ISO9660), DVDs (OSTA UDF) use local, NTFS uses UTC: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms724290%28v=vs.85… This column needs data on (ZFS, Ext2-Ext4, FreeBSD's current file systems, BTRFS, Apple HFS+ on-disk formats, and SMB/CIFS and NFS network protocols), at least, to become useful ... of course data for all FSs would be best. The data should be in the specs of these file systems, or the source code of their [cloned] open source implementations, it just takes a bit of time to track down the data from each FS's spec and sources. There maybe a few cases where multiple FS implementations return different TZ values, in which case I'd call that a bug. :-) I'll try to create this if nobody else does, but probably not for a while, and only for a half-dozen file systems. Access to live implementations of these file systems and FS diagnostic tools would also help, but not sure if that kind of data is useful for Wikipedia references.

Thanks, I hit this issue in another location and look to see what the shell did. Since the shell seemed to be doing the wrong thing I decided to at least report it to the mailing list.

Thanks, Andrew Fish TImeZone, like FAT, in which storing time in UTC this ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ edk2-devel mailing list edk2-devel(a)lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/edk2-devel _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-Cascadia mailing list Wikimedia-Cascadia(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-cascadia
