[Mediawiki-l] New Extension: AllTimeZones

[nischay nahata]

Hi,

I have made an extension called AllTimeZones [1] that lets anyone put up
dates in a page in all Timezone formats.
I think it will be especially useful for admins when announcing a meeting
rather than the current usage I saw at
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikidata/Events (using the Template:UTC with
local time link) as I don't like the idea of opening a new website just to
check my local time.

Reedy already suggested to make the zones in UTC format (I am still working
at it), any other comments are most welcome.
The UI really needs some work IMHO. You can see its screenshot at [2].

Interesting idea - I've seen something similar done with templates.

Any interest in hosting this on WM's Git installation rather than github?
