Hi all,

I've thought it would be cool to do this for some time - but I have zero time for picking up programming/web skills.

How about some kind of open source wiki style page where people could put in questions and answers into a database and another page on the site (this site) would allow users to choose their topic, how many questions, etc. and run through the testing questions?

We, as a community, could generate questions and answers as we study and type them in for our own self-testing/study/memorization and others could benefit as well.

For instance, as I study the CCIE Routing and Switching cert guide, I've been compiling some "interview questions" like:

Q: How do you enable sub-second failover in OSPF?
A: Set the ospf dead-interval to "minimal" (1 second) and the hello multiplier to some value > 1. Command: ip ospf dead-interval minimal hello-multiplier 4 !(250 msec failover).
Topic: #OSPF
Difficulty: 7

or

Q: Why doesn't RSTP need to use the listening state before forwarding traffic like regular STP?
A: "RSTP no longer needs the listening state because of its active querying to neighbors, which gurantees no loops during convergence."
Topic: #STP, #RSTP
Difficulty: 5

I'd be happy to contribute questions, but don't know how to do the development part.

Thanks!

it's just a flat file over there a text document. I was thinking about something more of a data base, an input interface for entering questions, the answers, and classifying the questions, and then a "user interface" where someone could take a test, from the db, that others had entered.

Sort of a community testing engine. I think this would be really cool - for testing and studying purposes. I have no idea how to implement it.
