In my past life (aka, before I became a Drupal geek) I spent far too much time working around people who had excellent paper credentials but lacked practical skills. These credentials ranged from tech certifications to PhDs -- none of these are guarantees that the person holding them knows *anything* about *anything*. One of the elements about the Drupal community that is refreshing is the complete lack of reliance on these artificial metrics.</blockquote>
<div><br> Your argument has point but there are non-geeky mortals who do not want to spend an extra hour researching the person they are hiring but trust a paper... That is where certifiactes come handy...<br><br>regards<br>
