I, for one, would love to see that checklist. Things like that help
people like me to focus and not wander too much in our studies. I've
been known to spend way too much time on the wrong topics (like ip
clueless ).

Steve - I just put together a "checklist" (motivated by an off-line
conversation with Chuck and by the first meeting with the San Diego
Study
Group-"hey dudes! I know you're lurking out there!") from the R/S
blueprint
that I'd be willing to share with you and the rest of the list.
Warning:
the checklist is still in evolution, you can use it to your best
advantage
and customize it, but I'm using it as both my self-assessment guide
(Excel)
and study guide (Word).
(In other words, it still has lots of gaps in it, but I'll be filling
those
in as my studying progresses)
