Badge Discussion: Like Ratios + Spending Likes

The thing about my class-based communities is that many of the normal measures like “been here a long time” don’t apply. I need more measures like “did some stuff this week”. I think I can work from examples like “30 likes accumulated over the span of 15 days”, have them set to get revoked daily and run a cron script to record who had what badges every Sunday at midnight to stick into the gradebook. Or something like that.

OOh. Some of those look helpful. Is there a way that I can get your SQL?

I was thinking earlier today that it would be cool if there were an API that would let people see/download/import badges from other sites. Permissions would be tricky, though. I suppose there could be an ok-to-export-without-admin-permissions checkbox or something.

I’ll go re-read the cool badge queries again. Thanks for the reminder. What I’d like to do is take all of those and make a more cohesive set of explanations, and then perhaps tie it in to my badge creator script.
