I like the idea of re-using and updating existing training materials for the
"correct answer", not what is needed to pass a test.  I suggested a specific
book, only as a way to get started.  To me, certifications are not very useful,
but I'm far passed _just starting out_ and willing to display my ignorance, as
you all see here. ;)

I believe working through forums and virtual meetings will work best for everyone.

We have an email list group setup for this purpose. Since there is some
traction, perhaps we should move the discussion over there as we get the group
together and decide a course of action?

       It is ale-study at mail.ale.org

See you there. Over 50 subscribers already are on that list.
