Jono and Marco have been working on integrating the Ask Ubuntu badges you earn here with the Ubuntu Accomplishment system.
This is basically badges, but at a higher project level, so of course we want people's Ask Ubuntu work to count as trophies in Ubuntu as a whole.
Please remember that an important goal of these accomplishments is that the documentation should be detailed: think of it as a wikipedia for how to get started with a particular Ask Ubuntu badge.
summary = Explain here in detail what this badge is, and what is involved is accomplishing it.
steps: Provide step by step instructions for to accomplish this.
Each step should be on a new line with a tab at the beginning, like this.
tips: Things and recommendations that people might find useful in earning the accomplishment.
You only need to fix up icon, steps, tips, pitfalls, and author, you can leave the rest alone.
category - The format is category=Ask Ubuntu:subcategory. For the list of subcategories, use this meta post.
icon - for the icons, use use the same icon as used by Ask Ubuntu (e.g. if it is Gold on Ask Ubuntu, ensure it has the gold icon in Ubuntu Accomplishments. You can use the following filenames: askubuntu-gold.png, askubuntu-silver.png, and askubuntu-bronze.png for the icons corresponding to each badge.
summary - this should be a detailed description of the badge and what is involved. For example if you are talking about your profile, explain what a profile is, why the user should care, and how they access it. To start a new paragraph, start a new line and put a tab at the beginning.
steps - add a series of chrononological steps for how to accomplish the badge. To add a new step, start a new line and put a tab at the beginning.
tips - add a series of tips that can help someone be successful in accomplishing the badge. To add a new tip, start a new line and put a tab at the beginning.
pitfalls - add a series of things the user should not do. To add a new pitfall, start a new line and put a tab at the beginning.
And then click on "Propose for merging" and then add a decription, paste in lp:ubuntu-community-accomplishments for the branch you want to propose into and click "Submit".
You can remove the tag description that says "This badge can be earned multiple times" as the Ubuntu system only awards for the first time.
All the descriptions are on the badge page so you can copy and paste those.
Once you've submitted the accomplishment file cross it off this list.
