Hey all. I think it would be a great idea if everyone studying for C5 next month could put toghether a few written-answer questions and post them to the board. With 20-30 people, that's 60-90 questions (+ answers or page references hopefully), which would definitely give us an edge!!!

Also, I wasn't really thinking list questions (ie regurgitative). More like:

Country XYZ is under difficult economic times. There are 5 people over the age of 60 for every 2 people ages 20-49. There is currently no social pension program offered. What would you propose, based on the following facts

Country XYZ already spends 15% of GDP on its national, non-contributory top-tier health plan
etc
etc
etc

Are there other people out there (besides me) willing to do this?
I'm thinking up possible questions as we speak!!!

Sounds like a great idea. Anyone have an idea as to how we could set it up (in a easy to read/print off format. rather than piece-meal.

No way to post doc files easily. I can set up a C5 download page and post things there if people want to email me the files.

...also, when you email me, indicate that you are copyrighting this under the GNL licence. Then everythings cool, you retain copyright, others can pass it around, nobody can sell your work.

How do I copyright something under the GNL license?

You should attach the GNL license to the work, but I think we'll be OK if you just mention in your email that you are distributing this under the GNL license (www.gnu.org). It basically lets me post your copywritten work on the net for free distribution.

About a 10-15 minute drive from Waterloo. This site actually resides in Waterloo on a server in the Xerox building right across the street from UW.
