As I recall, the design team never settled its differences in terms of how this would work, but we could readily build the back end for accumulating badges/milestones/... in a standard way and those activity developers who chose to use these mechanism can do so.

(I will try to dig up the conversation threads and feature pages so we don't have to repeat the same conversations.) regards. -walter -- Walter Bender Sugar Labs http://www.sugarlabs.org _______________________________________________ IAEP -- It's An Education Project (not a laptop project!)
