Ambiguous timezone abbreviations #1393

Closed axmmisaka closed 4 years ago

In cs61c appointment system, some people are getting confused if CST means China Standard Time or Central Standard time. It'd be helpful if it can show it's UTC+-? or some additional tz information; it would also be better to add a toggle to switch from local timezone to a unified one (PDT, for example).

I guess relevant utils are here https://github.com/okpy/ok/blob/253243bed7cdfa52e3c26aee39ce065d85a393fa/server/utils.py#L59-L113

The example in OP targets OH Queue (Cal-CS-61A-Staff/oh-queue#212), though this could still apply here if Ok uses %Z anywhere (don't think it does).

https://github.com/Cal-CS-61A-Staff/oh-queue/pull/212 is merged, I'll close this issue...
