This topic came up in the -security mailing list, but is related to an occasional discussion here in -advocacy. Tekmetrics has a "reseller" program, where you can sell their certification tests on your own web site. This would certainly be appropriate for the FreeBSD Mall and any other vendor of FreeBSD-related good or services. If possible, I'd like for several of the -advocates to surf over there, look at the trial tests, and perhaps take the UNIX programmer or UNIX system administrator test as their free test, to get a feeling if this is something we'd like to pursue. Of course, if I don't manage to score in the Master UNIX programmer range, their test is OBVIOUSLY flawed. ;^) -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"
