If someone or a group makes an initial list I can put that in the
system and in the web interface and we can improve on it from there.
There shouldn't be any mappings that haven't been confirmed by
someone with local topology knowledge, so it'll be a bunch of work
putting together.
By "local topology", I'm guessing you mean network topology.
If that's the case, then there is unlikely to be any real country-wide
rules for network topology in relation to other countries.
In the cases where it makes a difference, I think there is.
(Eastern Europe, Asia, ...)
It is all going to depend on which ISPs you use and where you
happen to be in
the country. And, even if you do have access to places to test from
in a given country and can do network analysis to many other NTP
servers in the pool from other countries, the network topology can
change tomorrow.
That's why I wasn't suggesting to mechanically test it, but to have
someone with local knowledge help make the list. :-)
If you accept that geographic relationships are acceptable, then you
should populate the continent/country/timezone zones based off of
those relationships.
Well, we need a list of those relationships to proceed, no matter how
we proceed then.
