TUGIndia are contemplating to design and conduct an online
certification program, which will provide an opportunity to people who
want to have an authentic certificate to prove their credentials in
TeX while seeking employment. Many agencies including Government of
Kerala want TUGIndia to conduct such an examination.

This will further help TUGIndia to mobilize the TeX manpower resources
at various levels in the country. Quite often prospective employers
ask us for list of developers and users in the country for appointment
and we find it very difficult to oblige their request.

TUGIndia server will provide facilities to register, attempt the
examination online any number of times and see the results
instaneously. Successful candidates will be awarded certificates and
will be sent to them by snail mail.

We might have three levels of examination -- a basic user level, an
intermediate level and a developer level. 

Any thoughts?
