> Let the candidates show their current competence...
Personally, I would be more interested in a candidates communication skills and their ability to articulate the written word than their expertise in writing code. General knowledge in FTN software operation would also be helpful. I don't really see where a candidates willingness to help others setup their "Chosen" software is that important in their being a FTSC member.
To me it would be more important and helpful to them and others just by being a Sysop.
Being an FTN/BBS software author doesn't and/or a helpful certainly doesn't hurt. But the real focus of a FTSC member IMHO is in clear and concise documentation skills.
