SEP 20: Add timezone information to all document metadata timestamps
Going forward this will be automated but for the existing set of documents the transformation will have to be at best semi-automated ie, script aided but with manual checking.
This will take the form of an update to the datetime
format used in the
frontmatter of each document.
Rationale
It seems daft to discard the timezone in which a document was authored. While
every document has location
information, including this also in the
datetime
object allows for this data to be machine readable and will allow
for more robust portability in the future.
Dates and times could, for example, be localised when appropriate.
