OK, then I'll rephrase to say that it benefits us all when the information on the NTP site is as good as possible, and it hurts the project when eyeballs are pulled away to other sites. > Do you consider "How to make an NTP server with a Raspberry Pi" to be > appropriate material for your site?

There are already pages for how to build for certain other platforms, and there is some fairly specific information about both hardware, BIOS, and software issues for some very specific platforms. Adding to that list on the support.ntp.org site *really* helps because it gets people to look there first, and when they see that the content has been added or improved by others they feel more comfortable adding or improving content themselves. Of course I do not actually *know* how other folks feel in this regard - it's my belief. > I can add a pointer to your site if you would like to suggest a suitable > starting page.
