is by no means the easiest C gode to grok. That makes you expert in
my book.

What
I do not consider myself an expert C developer.
I think the proposed schedule is overly serial. ntpkeygen and keygone
for example have no dependency on pylib/ IIRC. Also none of the other
ntpclients/ depend on ntpq. This would (in theory) pull CLIENTS up to
month 5 (late November/December)
I thin
Developers, please weigh in on this so we can finalize it.
The final version will become part of a grant proposal which may
get us money for a hardware test lab and code bounties.
= NTPsec work plan
This is a rough-draft work plan for the NTPsec project over the period
July 1st 2021 to July 1st
