http://www.ntp.org/ is the URL for The NTP (R&D) Project. This is the project engaged in NTP Research and Development at the University of Delaware. http://www.ntp.org/ has been the URL for The NTP Project since 19970118 (check the whois record). http://support.ntp.org/ is the URL for The NTP Public Services Project. This is the project which operates the public facing support services for The NTP (R&D) Project as well as providing additional developement support. The public facing support services provided by The NTP Public Services Project include, but are not limited to, ... * NTP Bug Tracking System - http://bugs.ntp.org/ * Community Supported Documentation Wiki - http://support.ntp.org/support * Mailing Lists - http://lists.ntp.org/ * Public Time Server Lists - http://support.ntp.org/servers * Release engineering infrastructure and services http://ntp.isc.org/ was the original URL for The NTP Public Services Project. This project was, and still is, operated on systems provided by ISC and other generous donors and bandwidth / rackspace provided by ISC. We stopped using the *.isc.org URLs several years ago because it was leading some people to believe that there was a "UDEL NTP" and an "ISC NTP". Using the ntp.isc.org URL in the Debian package description only serves to perpetuate a falsehood. http://ntp.isc.org/* is now just a transparent redirect the equivalent URL at http://support.ntp.org/. We provide this service to avoid link-rot. -- Steve Kostecke <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> NTP Public Services Project http://support.ntp.org/ Public Key at http://support.ntp.org/Users/SteveKostecke -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
