I like your idea about a Mod issues badge to anyone who has posted some outstanding project or story. That badge can be nominated by a Mod and discussed in the Mod forum and when we approve it; I can add that user's userid to the array and it's done, easy.
Regarding, making a badge based on "getting a thanks within a week", the problem for that badge is that few people will achieve it and so that badge will remain "lightgray" forever for some number greater than 99% of the forum members and after a week passes, they will never have a chance to get that badge; so I think I'll pass on that one.. but that's for the idea!

3. What is on Your Mind?
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)

XORGFOUNDATION(7) Miscellaneous Information Manual XORGFOUNDATION(7)
NAME
XOrgFoundation - X.Org Foundation information
SYNOPSIS
Release 6.7 and later of X Version 11 is brought to you by the X.Org Foundation.
DESCRIPTION
The X.Org Foundation is an independent, not-for-profit 501(c)(3) charity corporation. It was formed in 2004 as the successor to the X.Org
Group at The Open Group. The purpose of the X.Org Foundation is to foster the development, evolution, and maintenance of the X Window Sys-
tem, a comprehensive set of vendor-neutral, system-architecture neutral, network-transparent windowing and user interface standards. Mem-
bership in the X.Org Foundation is free and open to anyone. The X.Org Foundation hosts a public git repository of the source code on
freedesktop.org.
The X Window System was created in the mid-1980s at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. In 1988, MIT formed a member-funded consor-
tium to provide the technical and administrative leadership necessary to support further development of the X Window System. In 1992, MIT
and the membership decided it was in their best interests to move the consortium out of MIT and create an independent, stand-alone organi-
zation. All rights to the X Window System were assigned by MIT to X Consortium, Inc. on January 1, 1994. On December 31, 1996 the X Con-
sortium, Inc. closed its doors and all rights to the X Window System were assigned to The Open Group (then known as the Open Software Foun-
dation).
