[p2pu-webcraft] Badges for skills/values in Webcraft (you can earn, assess and issue)

[Parag Shah]

Even though CoffeeScript compiles into Javascript, a submission made in
CoffeeScript would not help us gauge a candidate's Javascript proficiency.

If CoffeeScript is a language used by many web developers, then perhaps we
could have a separate challenge for CoffeeScript.
