Usage
Anybody can give badge to each other. However, currently everyone possesses 30 badges to give/month, i.e. 1 badge/day - this can change based on your feedback and how we're using it. But use it wisely. Please note that you can ONLY give 1 unit to one person at a time.
To give a badge, go to #badges channel on Slack. And type this command:
/give [amount] to [slackusername] for [reason][#category hashtag][#badge hashtag]
For example, if I want to give a badge to @geza for his help to build the meteor site where we submit milestones. Here's what we can command:
/give 1 to @geza for helping build the milestone submission site #codecontributions #publication
