I was looking a little bit at Badgr, and one of my concerns is that it's open core, with a lot of functionality we need (SSO, qr codes, mass awarding) and some we really want (pathways) as the proprietary parts. If we have to implement those ourselves, that means we'd be on a constant fork (possibly one regarded as hostile). And at that point, that might be as much or more work than reviving Tahrir. Marie pointed me to another possibility, BadgeOS. https://badgeos.org/ This is a wordpress plugin and meant for wordpress-based sites, but, hey, we already have some wordpress, and we might be able to adapt it. We'll still need a custom plugin for the actual fedora messaging and fas stuff, and possibly other things I have no idea about. They are also a "core features free" business model, but they tell me ther "premium" addons are actually all open source under the AGPL. So that's a lot more appealing to start, and I think we could get some budget here to have _their_ team worrying about those plugins for us while we worry about the Fedora-specific stuff. -- Matthew Miller <mattdm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Fedora Project Leader _______________________________________________ infrastructure mailing list -- infrastructure@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to infrastructure-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/infrastructure@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
