Actually, I suggest anything _but_ formal. It would most likely tie LPI into an arrangement that would go against its foundations. But from what I've seen, Prosoft Training (among others) accept various exams and certifications from other vendors and organizations in its various CIW programs. Since LAMP is the current buzzword, and combining existing LPI, MySQL and CIW exams could result in a LAMP track today, I merely suggested it as an interim solution. It is one for Prosoft Training, or whomever else, to do. I think that's what almost everyone is missing in my suggestion. > One possible solution might be to have LPI running the whole thing (as > they do now with the admin exams), but to be very active in seeking > assistance from members of the community surrounding the project being > tested.

The "flash-in-the-pan" thing is for Prosoft Training or someone else to do on their own in the interim. Just don't shoot me for suggesting it. -- Bryan J.
