I'm open to any numbering mechanism, if someone can propose something clean. Internally (and I'll make that publicly visible, too), the objectives are versioned as major.minor where the major version increases with each complete redo (including a JTA survey, like this time). We've committed to a 5 year cycle on these. The minor version increases when there is just a interim assessment of changes that are needed. This will happen, at least, every 2.5 years. So, the version for these new objectives will be 2.0. I'd like to avoid numbering the objectives as 2.0.101.1 (etc) as that looks really icky (and looks too much like RCS/CVS branching, which also irks me). So if someone has a cool idea, please speak up. > There was something else that stood out when I saw the topics.

The new numbering was really based on starting with the old ones, adding/removing some, cleaning them up a bit and putting them in sequence. Once the survey is complete and we're ready to 'lock in' the objectives, the numbering could adjust a little more (plus we'll have to decide on the split between 101/102 and 201/202 content). regards, -- g. matthew rice <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> starnix care, toronto, ontario, ca phone: 647.722.5301 x242 gpg id: EF9AAD20 http://www.starnix.com professional linux services & products _______________________________________________ lpi-examdev mailing list [email protected] http://list.lpi.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/lpi-examdev
