I'd be interested in participating. In fact, I've already volunteered and submitted a few questions for the current round of Level 1 exam modifications and I've offered my help with the Level 3 security objectives (haven't done much on that yet, sorry :-)). > If we could get 50 groups of 4 people (average), Is that an average of 4 people or 4 average people? :-) > world-wide, and each > person managed to write 15 (non-duplicated) items, within a week (given > all were scheduled during the week) we would have 3000 items to work with. > This would be more manageable than going to the LUGs, but that could be > explored too. > > If this could be done prior to the formal item-writing session, we could > really expedite some of our examdev programs.... What's LPI's policy on people taking exams after writing questions? I've offered to assist with the Level 3 exam development and haven't sat the exams yet (for obvious reasons) and I know of a number of capable proctors who would possibly like to assist in writing some of the questions, but might be deterred depending on whether they can still sit the exams later or not. BTW, I'm still interested in assisting John Terpstra with the Samba exam questions, but I haven't heard back from him in a couple of weeks (I think he's doing a bunch of talks on Samba 3 at the moment, so he's pretty busy). Do you have any pointers as to where I can start with that? I might try contacting you off list about this again, if that's OK. thx, Matt _______________________________________________ lpi-examdev mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://list.lpi.org/mailman/listinfo/lpi-examdev
