Hi @ask I’ve just come across this draft [https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-ntp-bcp](https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-ntp-bcp) and I think this would help introduce a more authoritative source on NTP server best practices (stackoverflow is not a good place to get best practices). I recommend we add it in somewhere on that page. One section I was interested in was the Leap second bit where it is crystal clear that leap smearing is bad for public servers and explains why. I also learned about mean solar time [and 🌕 power](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tidal_acceleration#Effects_of_Moon's_gravity) Another thing I like that it was written for NTP server operators in mind. ---

Thanks. I’ve submitted a PR, this is what I’ve written: [https://github.com/abh/ntppool/pull/160/files](https://github.com/abh/ntppool/pull/160/files). Does anyone have any suggestions to improve the text? ---
