Launches Open Badges Project. Today we announced Mozilla’s Open Badge Infrastructure project, an effort to make it easy to issue and share digital learning badges across the web.
More and more people are looking at badges to show skills and achievements online. Mozilla is currently developing its own badges for things like Javascript courses at the School of Webcraft. We’ve also talked to groups as diverse as 4H, NASA, PBS, P2PU, Intel and the US Department of Education, all of whom plan to develop digital badges. [svn] Revision 61915. Update:Remora API Docs. The AMO API allows you to get information about addons hosted on addons.mozilla.org.
The API supports REST. At present, it is a read only API (GET only) although this is planned to change in later versions. No developer id or authentication is currently required to use the AMO API.
