10 We have actually been using an extra question battery for IRC for many
11 years already. The quizzes are actively maintained by me so if you have
12 suggestions about what needs improving please do tell and we can update
13 the quizzes as needed. Currently we really don't need to fail that many
14 people as those who end up at that point in the process almost always
15 have good enough skills as they have contributed via overlays for quite
16 a while. I would rather keep it like the current process where the bad
17 people don't get mentored to the finish.
