And who writes the questions, beta scores them, fixes them [technically
and grammatically], updates them and retires them? ;) They go through a
complete life cycle.
Anyway, to answer the question, myself and volunteers (sometimes paid
but they're still called volunteers) on the lpi-examdev list.
Naturally, since the content cannot be discussed publicly, we
communicate via an on-line item management tool (which can have "anon"
contributions via:
https://www.lpi.org/caf/Xamdev/item_contrib (nudge, nudge ;))),
GPG encrypted e-mails and files, IM, etc. For a hefty chunk of the
psychometrics, we rely on Alan Mead (he's listed on the staff page at:
https://www.lpi.org/eng/about_lpi/personnel/management_staff
hmmm, just checked and he isn't; but he should be). If you do a google
search on "alan mead lpi", you will see e-mail posts from him dating
back to the beginning.
Anyway, lots of people get to help review the items based on both
submitted comments and personal review. If you'd be interested in
helping out (I think I should put this in my .sig :)), consider joining:
