Hi there, we're almost there :)
Regarding regular expressions, BRE vs. ERE. That's a tough one. As far as the objectives go, the only distinction is whether to put a \ in front of special characters like ? or not. When considering programming languages, my impression is that regexes more similar to ERE are far more common. I also think that fewer escaping makes teaching regular expressions easier. Therefore I perfectly see Werner's point in using ERE instead of BRE. We also never escaped the special characters in the objectives ourselves :) To see how it looks like, I've changed the draft to ERE and added grep -E. To avoid scaring candidates I've phrased it as 'Regular Expressions using ., [ ], *, and ? in Extended Regular Expression syntax'. However, this might have to be subject to further discussion.
