Status of Badging System - Beta 1

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 under testing.
  • The Beta 1 system seems to be running OK.

TODO:
  • Continue logging, testing and debugging the "new badge" alerting system.
  • Clean up PHP code including creating include files, functions, arrays, etc.
  • Let the current Beta 1 system run for a "while" before adding any new major features.
  • Award and write up various member achievement awards based on input and recommendations (when not developing code).

Overall, I'm happy with how quickly we were able to get this rapid development prototype badging system up and running and the results.

Again, a Big Thank You to Ravinder Singh for this idea. Much appreciated. I have enjoyed coding this project and now see how valuable a badging system can be for forum Members, Moderators and Admins. Great idea Ravinder.

Also, I greatly appreciate those who have been patience with me as I have quickly put this prototype together over the holidays. Thank You.
