[FM Discuss] Book Sprint Badges

[Janet Swisher]

Obviously, the Mozilla Foundation folks on the Open Badges project
have been doing a lot of thinking about how to make badges for and by
communities. It's still early days, so everybody's still trying to
figure it out. Here's an example:

I especially like the point "Anchor badges within the community".

Is that the one by Les Orchard? I think it predates the Open Badges
infrastructure, but he may have now updated to be OB-compatible. If
you reach out to him, tell him I sent you. But he may be busy and slow
to respond until mid-May, due to a software release.
