Students' achievements

Students' achievements badges may be granted by course mentors to course students denoting students' valuable achievements.

As Kottans courses provide for tests phase (pre-course, self study phase) a collection of badges may help to catch student's skills at a glance at admission interviews phase.

Any Kottans badge is a valuable asset, obtaining it is a privilege and granting one is an act of responsibility. Therefore a commit adding the badge must be authored by Kottans organization member and commit message should follow certain template to enable quick search.

The above allows anyone to validate badges and also allows Kottans organization to effectively request illegitimate users to remove badges from publications.
