Summary: Timezone needs update
Product: MediaWiki
Version: 1.15-svn
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Normal
Component: User preferences

I don't know how you get timezone information for users to choose in user
preferences in MediaWiki, but it seems to me that you are using Zoneinfo
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zoneinfo), right?
Anyway, it needs updating, at least for Asia/Saigon. Saigon has officially
changed its name to Ho Chi Minh city since 1975, and there is no reason to keep
that timezone anymore. You can see discussion about changing it on the
Internet, such as, http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.time.tz/2122, and the
fact is Zoneinfo has changed timezone Asia/Saigon to Asia/Ho_Chi_Minh since
2008 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_zoneinfo_time_zones.
Could you consider updating or changing your timezone database? As you know,
most of Vietnamese Wikipedia users are from Vietnam and they will consider
Wikipedia very out-of-date in naming timezone. :)
