Hi Ravinder,
It's OK. Thanks for the great ideas on the badging system.
No reason to worry about coding, as I know you are busy working 12 to 13 hours a day on your IT job.
I will code the "days active in sequence" badge when I am back at my desk after the 8th of Jan and will prototype a simple "new badge issued" alert based on a hash of the JSON string-ified badges afterwards.
You have already done a lot and I can easily take it from here and finish the prototype badging system and leave a few badges "in reserve" for the future.
Take care and keep sharing your good ideas for the forums!

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)
