When: Q4/2012 - Q1/2013

Building off of the previous milestone, the tasks performed by contributors should result in the construction of their Mozilla ‘resume’. In that scenario, to provide better understanding of their accom- plishments, the aim is to build a badges and titles system that corresponds with a rewards hierarchy that offers community members properly defined rewards based on their efforts.
