Hi all. |
2 |

Recruiters have been talking about changing our quizzes for a very long |
4 |
time as most of the questions are a bit outdated and the quizzes doesn't |
5 |
cover any new material from the last 2 years approximately. |
6 |
|
7 |
What we'd like to do is make a big pool of questions that we can |
8 |
randomly draw 20 questions from (or some other arbitrary number) and |
9 |
have each recruitee do slightly different quizzes that way. |
10 |
|
11 |
It's my hope that this will: |
12 |
- help cover more areas |
13 |
- avoid the copy/paste syndrom that we're sometimes seeing |
14 |
- help make sure that the mentor spends more than 30 minutes on |
15 |
mentoring (yes, some mentors are fairly bad in this regard) |
16 |
- make it more interesting for recruiters as well as devs mentoring |
17 |
several people (less repetition) |
18 |
|
19 |
But to do all this we need some help from interested parties to create a |
20 |
big pool of questions. To make this possible we've set up a |
21 |
equizapp@g.o alias where we can discuss the form of the future |
22 |
quizzes as well as quiz questions. Mike Doty has a few ideas on the |
23 |
application side of things and will write those up later today. |
24 |
|
25 |
But for now interested people should add themselves to the alias (if |
26 |
you're a dev and have access to that) or contact me on irc or by email |
27 |
so I can possibly add you. I'm not only looking for current devs but a |
28 |
strong knowledge of ebuilds, eclasses etc. is required. |
