At this point, I am thinking that soon we should move to a new phase of rapid prototype development if we cannot easily think of new badges. No need to waste time on the final 20% when when are 80% there, more-or-less.
So, if we do not have any ideas for additional badges now, we can just leave the as-is (reserved) and move on.
Or maybe you have some more badge ideas?
So far, it is only you and me with badge ideas, so no need to wait for other UG members to come up with badge logic
Today I mapped out the new badging system using FA icons, Beta 1 in no particular order except a 6 x 8 grid:

Dear All,
Here is the current status of the badging system:
The Beta 1 phase of the new badging system is close to completion.
42 prototype badges have been "allocated"
6 prototype badge slots are held in reserve
The "alert you have new badges" prototype is running and is currently... (4 Replies)
I have moved the bug badge out of reserve and into the main stream. Basically, I will assign a color level like the others, based on who has made a good actionable bug report for UNIX.COM. "Good" means screenshots, links, and even details from web dev tools our the HTML source code. So far,... (0 Replies)

CMAP(5) File Formats Manual CMAP(5)NAME
cmap - format of .cmap files (color maps)
DESCRIPTION
Color-map files define the mapping between eight-bit color numbers and red, green and blue intensities used for those numbers. They are
read by Magic as part of system startup, and also by the :load and :save commands in color-map windows. Color-map file names usually have
the form x.y.z.cmapn, where x is a class of technology files, y is a class of displays, z is a class of monitors, and n is a version number
(currently 1). The version number will change in the future if the formap of color-map files ever changes. Normally, x and y correspond to
the corresponding parts of a display styles file. For example, the color map file mos.7bit.std.cmap1 is used today for most nMOS and CMOS
technology files using displays that support at least seven bits of color per pixel and standard-phosphor monitors. It corresponds to the
display styles file mos.7bit.dstyle5.
Color-map files are stored in ASCII form, with each line containing four decimal integers separated by white space. The first three inte-
gers are red, green, and blue intensities, and the fourth field is a color number. For current displays the intensities must be integers
between 0 and 255. The color numbers must increase from line to line, and the last line must have a color number of 255. The red, green,
and blue intensities on the first line are used for all colors from 0 up to and including the color number on that line. For other lines,
the intensities on that line are used for all colors starting one color above the color number on the previous line and continuing up and
through the color number on the current line. For example, consider the color map below:
255 0 0 2
0 0 255 3
255 255 255 256
This color map indicates that colors 0, 1, and 2 are to be red, color 3 is to be blue, and all other colors are to be white.
