Overview

django-badger is a reusable Django app that supports badges, to track and award achievements by your users. This can be used to help encourage certain behaviors, recognize skills, or just generally celebrate members of your community.

This app aims to provide features such as:

• Basic badges, managed by the site owner in code and via Django admin.
• Badge awards, triggered in response to signal-based events with code collected in per-app badges.py modules.
• Views and models that enable users to create their own badges and nominate each other for awards.
• Meta-badges, for which an award is automatically issued when a complete set of prerequisite badge awards have been collected.
• Progress tracking, for which an award is issued when a user metric reaches 100% of some goal, or in response to some other custom logic.
• Activity streams of badge awards.
