I added the bit about money in the motion, because I want to make sure all my ducks are in a row in case that's the approach we take. I think test-writing should be compensated with a flat fee as opposed to the per-test payments involved in proctoring, evaluating, and manufacturing/shipping. So I'm thinking of paying $100 per set of 200 problems, sufficient to generate random tests at a given level. But that's a topic for the LBCK list. -Matt 2009/8/27 Jorge Llambías : > On Thu, Aug 27, 2009 at 3:51 PM, Matt Arnold wrote: >> I like this. >> >> So is the new committee going to have a separate mailing list, or >> scheduled IRC meetings... or, where will we work? > > I think a separate mailing list is best.
