This sounds good!!! I've been thinking in linking PyBossa with the Open
Badges proposal from the Mozilla
Foundation<https://wiki.mozilla.org/Badges>and the P2P University as a
good way to measure skills from our volunteers.
Do you know Open Badges? Would be useful for you if we would a system like
that?

Hope this explains the requirement.
