That's a good example of a point I didn't make last time...
Official sites like NIST usually don't do a good job of linking out to other
sites. When they do, they often go to official or manufacturers sites rather
than informal/amateur sites.
That's not bad, but it might not help newbies find places like time-nuts when
they are trying to get started.
I should have mentioned that there is nothing wrong with having multiple
FAQ/Wiki sites run by amateurs. The trick is that they usually cross-link to
each other. If google (or dumb luck) takes you to one, that usually helps
you find the others.
