[Mediawiki-l] New extension: TimeZoneInfo

[Ian Smith]

Hi,

I just posted a new extension, TimeZoneInfo.  This displays several
types of useful (?) information relating to timezones. It is expected to
be of some use in Wikis which serve a distributed community of users,
where people want to know what time it is for other people.

The <tzchart> tag creates a conversion chart showing the relationships
between a number of specified timezones. Timezones with fractional hour
offsets (eg. India) are handled quite well.

The <tztrans> tag displays a table of standard <--> daylight time
transitions for a number of specified timezones, making it easy to see
when people in other countries will be changing their clocks.

The <tzlist> tag produces a table of all known timezones, or zones whose
names match a specified filter.

See:

Cheers,

Ian
