A lot of this is still a WiP, but we have the foundations of the group; I'm
sure it will evolve over time. Please be patient regarding any bugs.
For those of you who have already signed up at LinkedIn, please ensure your
full work history is listed in your profile. Also, an email will be sent to
you with further instructions regarding the online certification tool.
For everyone: please remember that we are trying to create an "elite"
community (shall we say, "elitist?" :), so acceptance will be carefully
evaluated. As stated earlier, the purpose is to weed out the entry-to-mid
level knowledge in favor of more complex and advanced experience.
Ok, here we go!
