Talk:Achievements

I don't think this exists anywhere, by no means is it a complete list, i hope its in the spirit of geohashing. zorg

Award Icons?

It might be nice for someone (not me, I leave for Paris in 12 hours) to make some small icons representing the awards, which users could, say, post on their user page after having completed each. Any takers?

Oh, definitely. Preferably small icons that could be put on the page for the specific hash,next to everyone who's been around. Might have a look at it next week if no one else bothers with it, got another GH related challenge to work on tomorrow. Nazgjunk 21:08, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

I almost made a page for each individual Geohash achievement, where there can be a list of people who have gotten it. I'll chuck that up, and time giving, will add an icon. I'll make them all at the same time so they're the same style though (better to be xkcd style right?) (about halfway through this, but i can't think of a good way to draw public transport geohash)zorg

Proof

How do you submit the proof? Post it on this site?
and how do you do that with the public transit version....
And.... does it count for every single day or are the saterday meetings the only ones allowed? :) (Come to think of it, how can you be at exactly 4pm at a pub. transit location? :P) --Evo-- 22:42, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

I envisioned that you would post it on your talk (make that your kind of 'profile' page), along side a photo. Achievements can count for any day of the week. (Hey maybe we could have Monday GeoHash.... Tuesday Geohash... ect ). And proof isn't always necessary, it'd be most of a personal achievement Really this should have a website more complicated than a wiki, with profiles and stats n whatnot. So we can compete for Geohasher of the month/week/year. zorg

For the public transit version, I pictured a photo of a watch and a GPS doohickey, your smiling face, and a background that is clearly the inside of a bus. But really, I'm not going to check. AshleyMorton 23:08, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

I added a proof section to the page, Is watch, location & you is enough?

Also I realise this means nobody has won a Geohash award yet :/ zorg

And for time zone challenged locations (where it is physically impossible for me to get to a weekday geohash without a time machine), are we allowed to show time proof of the next day, or should we set our watches to a foreign time zone? --Phire 04:41, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

Community

I added a community achievements section. Also, a achievements category. zorg
