Badges seem nice and all but I think it's not the biggest win for the buck.

Sure, I agree. I still think badges

Realistically, the biggest issue I see with on-boarding is mentoring

At the Nova mid-cycle meetup we've been talking about the problem of helping
new contributors. It got into a discussion of karma, code reviews, bug fixes
and establishing a name for yourself before screaming in a chat room can

I am new to open stack and python. But I really liked the live community
here and great suggestions that crop up. This one is seriously good and
helps new people stay motivated. I installed dev stack on my sluggish
laptop and that's all. Could not move any further. Looking forward to
