Maybe not an appropriate topic for Nanog... but... it is becoming a sad fact that the clue level of 'internet engineers' is going down.
I think you mean that the clue density is getting sparser as the Internet grows.
Er, conventional wisdom has that the clue density is constant. The 'net grows. Appearence of clue is reduced. The CAIDA series is really a good idea. Mentoring is a great idea. Potentially partnering w/ USENIX once a year would be of great benefit. ARIN et.al. are trying to get some WG's off the ground. There, a few good ideas. Tech. transfer, Empirical (SOP) knowledge, Cross Disipline meetings. All waiting for someone to take charge and complete the task. Not sure that it can be in the current NANOG form thou. :( --bill
