Date timezone #39

Open ljoonal opened 6 years ago

ljoonal commented 6 years ago

Shouldn't a timezone be defined for date, or a standard timezone such as GMT be used for all of the dates?

vsoch commented 6 years ago

It's a Jekyll rendered site, so we use a generalized format that is usually seen, e.g., check out this post --> http://alanwsmith.com/jekyll-liquid-date-formatting-examples. Beyond maybe the day / month / year it's not an application that is hugely dependent on differences in the timestamp.

Understood. So adding +hhmm to the end of the date is a way to specify the timezone if I understood that correctly? 😄 And if that is, maybe that's worth adding to documentation somewhere?

And using correct timezones may prove to become important if for example a sort by time is implemented?
