It may well make sense to organize what is currently tz commentary into something that is, well, a bit more organized. The format I'm most familiar with is MediaWiki, for what it's worth. And here is some infrastructure using MediaWiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Tz_database
E.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Africa/Luanda https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/America/Indiana/Indianapolis https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asia/Novosibirsk
But there are vandalizing admins around, e.g. Anthony Bradbury: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&page=Time+in+Africa
Another option could be to use wikidata, e.g. Asia/Novosibirsk https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q4806295 and put evidences and for time offsets there.
Personally I have no time for wikipedia since we had a lot of well written material removed in the past because some other editors decided they did not like it. So I have no confidence that any material posted would remain clean or even available. I think that a 'private' wiki is much more appropriate given that what we are going to archive is evidential material? With publicly accessible sandboxes for providing new material. Which is then managed based on it's suitability for inclusion? I could live with mediawiki format, but I much prefer clean html documents using ckeditor. And adding interactive packages is something I don't find particularly easy with those type of systems anyway. Is there somewhere appropriate to host a service Paul? I'm happy to run something on my servers, but I suspect the load may be quite high ;) -- Lester Caine - G8HFL ----------------------------- Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk Rainbow Digital Media - http://rainbowdigitalmedia.co.uk
