CUPS was not included in the Level 2 JAS surveys. Though printing and print services was already deemed relevant in Level 1. If our experts on this list recommend covering CUPS, if nothing else, we can legitimately include CUPS details in the objective and include items on the exams. We can set it up so that the CUPS item(s) won't affect the test taker's score, and let the psychometrician evaluate how qualified individuals are answering the CUPS questions. If, by next update, CUPS is still deemed relevant in a new survey, we can start counting the CUPS item(s).
My personal take, however, is that CUPS isn't that standard yet to be covered at Level 1. -Kara On Sat, 11 Aug 2001, Tom Peters wrote: > > I forward this to lpi-examdev since the subject also deals with delimiting > L1 and L2.
