Thanks Natasa. Happy to hear that my own enthusiasm for the topic of Open Badges has become "infectious" (hopefully in a good way). As a follow up, I'm currently authoring what I hope will be a useful "how to get started with badges" via this Google doc

Seeing as you have set to work on realizing badges, I would really welcome what you have found to be important in realizing success on the topic.
