Hey Pippa - <div><br></div><div>The print/export functionality is something we've definitely talked about. We may build something like it for the January release on our end but any display site can also build that functionality on their end as well. </div>

How about something along the lines of <br><br><i>Demonstrate your skills</i> (or <i>Show Off Your Skills</i>)<br><br>
Earn badges that highlight your technical and community skills to your friends, colleagues and potential employers. Together with Mozilla, makers of Firefox, we've developed a set of badge criteria that help you benchmark your web developer skills: you can use your existing online portfolio to demonstrate an achievement or complete challenges to help you level up to the next Mozilla-designed Badge. <br>
<br>School of Webcraft Badges are easy to display on your personal website, online profiles, and CV and use the <a href="http://openbadges.org/" target="_blank">Open Badges</a> framework, a way to record, track, and display your skills and knowledge across the web. <br>
<br><br>----<br><br>Erin / Chloe - I've got a quick question that I've not been able to find an answer for on the Badges FAQ - Will there be a simple, automatic way for Open Badges users to link to their badges in print CVs? eg a short/humanreadable URL to both the backpack and to their individual badges? (eg. Pippa's backpack <a href="http://badg.es/PippaBuchanan1979" target="_blank">http://badg.es/PippaBuchanan1979</a> and Beginner's Austrian Dialect <a href="http://badg.es/PippaBuchanan1979/Oesterreichish" target="_blank">http://badg.es/PippaBuchanan1979/Oesterreichish</a> )<br>
<br>While many job applications and processes are online - there are still a lot of industries which are more about face 2 face meetings, people might want to share their backpack in printed CVs etc. <br><span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>

I wouldn't want to imply that "a SoW JavaScript badge means that
*Mozilla says* I know JavaScript". It's a more subtle message "a SoW
JavaScript badge means that my peers say I know JavaScript, and
Mozilla says that matters".<span><font color="#888888"><br>

<blockquote type="cite">There are actually two separate things at play here.
1) There is the Mozilla Open Badge Infrastructure that these
badges get pushed into. In this case P2PU is simply an issuer in
the ecosystem. But 2) SoW is a partnership between Mozilla and
P2PU so the SoW skill badges are in fact backed by Mozilla - they
even carry Mozilla branding. Mozilla reviews the
assessments/challenges and in that sense 'backs' them.

<div>On the certification authority front - there are no formal
certification authorities for badges yet so it may be that there
are more informal certification authority relationships like
this. Or or may turn out that the endorsement functionality
serves this function as well - we'll have to see.</div>

<div bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000"> I agree with Dan that
putting together "certification" and "backed by Mozilla"
is misleading. I suggest something like this:<br>
<br>
Earn Merit Badges<br>
Show off your web and community skills to friends,
teachers, and potential employers through School of
Webcraft merit badges. Merit badges show that your peers
have assessed your work as meeting specific quality
criteria. These badges are issued by School of Webcraft
using the Open Badges framework, which is supported by
Mozilla, the global non-profit dedicated to shaping the
future of the Web for the public good, and to helping
everyone become a Web maker. Badges are easy to display on
your personal website, online profiles, and CV or resumé.
