Badges Authz Feature

Jan 09, 2014 | categories: fedora, badges View Comments

A quick note: a new release of the Fedora Badges app went out before the holidays. The main new feature is some authorization code that allows us to grant particular users the rights to award particular badges.

This will make some new stuff possible. For instance, the Beat Writer badges are to be awarded to people who take on the writing of a documentation "beat". We don't really have a way to measure that programmatically. With the new authorization code, we can authorize randomuser/immanetize, the docs project lead, to award those badges as makes sense. Similarly, we have authorized patches to hand out the Web Warrior and Write Stuff badges.

More to come... If you haven't noticed, riecatnor is doing some prodigious work on new badge art.
