Project Statistics & Badges

I know the badges are just for fun and have zero priority compared to the true purpose of WCGrid, however they *are* fun.
How about you add a "badge count" to the project statistics, so people can see how many badge (of which type) have been issued for each project. For a couple of projects with rare/difficult to get badges (e.g, Africa, Beta, Dengue) that could be interesting reading.

Re: Project Statistics & Badges

Which project statistics and for what purpose?

- If you mean overall project stats, what would be the point?
We know that the number of AC@H badges must be low; there was only 33years for the entire project! I have returned more than twice the number of results than that whole project managed. It's not a recent project so most people would not be interested. Those that did manage to chip in might be more interested in the geographical distribution. Though I would suggest this would only be useful for strategistic management of present projects (a bandwidth, task size, system requirements map might for example allow for a rethink on task sizes in order to include more WCG crunchers in specific geographical locations).

Team badge counts might be an idea, but I think there are enough stats for overall contribution.

Take C4CW for example, the Overall Run Time is 7708 years, so what you would really be asking for is a detail of badge distrobution.
