That said, they were very receptive to feedback. If you have suggestions for improvement I'm sure they'll take them up.

I hope so. I have given detailed feedback, though the response was not very specific.

I really believe that opening the process could bring about a wonderful change to the LPI. The very open process that has made Linux and much free software of high quality can help rather than hinder the LPI. They have no need to use publicly reviewed questions before they have a target number of questions. In any event, building such a pool of reviewed questions, rated by the community, would be a very useful resource for people who are learning about and teaching Linux system administration, even during the period before the number has reached the required target.

LPI has always prided itself on having a "community" development model for its certification programs which is as open as possible without sacrificing exam integrity or security. I invite you to become involved in the process--your comments and input are welcome. Please contact me directly at scottl_at_lpi.org. Many thanks for your interest!
