It would be nice to have a formal name for this tz group. The tz database has always sounded a bit informal to me. It doesn't sound like a name and so this group doesn't seem to have a name.

I've always called this "the Olson time zone database", and I think it'd be great to make that official in honor of ado, especially once he steps down.

It would be nice if the tz mailing list was posted in a news group format or forum where different threads of discussion could be tracked separately.

And also was archived by things like gmane and other convenient-to-search-and-browse places. -dave /*============================================================ http://VegGuide.org http://blog.urth.org Your guide to all that's veg House Absolute(ly Pointless) ============================================================*/
