Agreed on the booksprint and facilitation.

I also like the idea of the community reward of badges. I can see that
in the example here.

This could also solve an issue that I've had since the FM winter meet up
in Amsterdam. Which is how do we build an interactive community of
people using FM for education.
It may not solve it directly within FM. But if there are badge partners
like p2pu and their school of webcraft, then the opportunity to work on
FM resources and then pull them together into an 'course' with stages
and online exercises (which can be badged) with a partner like P2PU
could be a good goal for me to work towards.

I could imagine a situation where we do a pilot project with web punters
to get badged for skills. This could fit into the proposal to use the
large about of interrelated material on media and social media
production in FM to do a 'how to create a social media strategy using
open tools'.

This guy looks like he is on a similar tip and like he would welcome
collaboration.

On the other hand, it would probably be best to start with the examples
that you guys mentioned.

nice one
Mick.
