Timezone in profile
It would be nice to have a time zone setting in the profile. Otherwise the shown commit times can be very confusing for us Europeans. :)
Maybe you can even use the Google map location to automatically populate that field (or some browser header?).
Hi Bananeweizen,
Although we don't always say so, our entire site displays UTC time, which should actually be very convenient for you Europeans. It's really confusing for us :-)
Are there time fields on a specific page which are causing confusion? Are we converting times to UTC incorrectly somewhere?
Robin
I think the commit times are wrong (cause they show I commit during my sleeping time). Example commit of me: http://www.ohloh.net/projects/338/contributors/5168/commits/9109552
Instead of 14:44 UTC it happened at 21:44 UTC. You can see that in the SVN log or at our fisheye installation:
http://tvbrowser.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/tvbrowser/trunk/?view=log&pathrev=3392
http://fisheye3.cenqua.com/changelog/tvbrowser/?cs=3392
I've found the problem in our code.
Here's my excuse: it turns out that Ruby's DateTime.parse() method does not respect time zones, although Ruby's Time.parse() method does. Why there are two separate time classes? Don't get me started.
In any case, it's my fault, because my tests did not cover time zone conversion. The fix was simple, but re-analyzing all of the log history to get corrected timestamps will take some time. I'll get your project corrected but it won't happen overnight.
Thanks for finding this,
Robin
Just take your time, no need to hurry. Thanks for investigating the issue. It's a pleasure to see how quick and detailed your responses are.
