Revision as of 19:09, 28 September 2009
I would (and you could) like to create this place as a workshop to propose certain gratuitous ribbons to become real achievements. The criteria are, of course, the same as for real achievements.
- The gratuitous ribbon should have been claimed by several people in the past, proving that it is interesting.
- The achievement should be generic enough to be achievable for any geohasher worldwide.
- The achievement proposal should include well-defined criteria.
- The achievement should further the spirit of geohashing. (All that is good, geeky, amazingly random or randomly amazing).
- ...
This page may be considered as a first stage to see if other people agree on ribbons becoming achievements, without having to create a proposed achievement page for every single one. They may, of course, evolve later on on their own pages, before actually becoming achievements.
Feel free to add new achievements to this list, or express your support and doubts.

Definition
- The geohasher must have met a cat during the expedition (not necessarily at the geohash itself)
- He must have patted the cat (have physical contact that is not aggravating the cat)
- He must not force patting on an unfriendly cat (bad luck, then).
- He must prove this with a photo of the cat, and ideally but not necessarily him- or herself. (That's what most people did until now)
- ... please add what you think is necessary

Zb and Baerenfell earned the Democracy Geohash Achievement
|
Definition
- The geohasher must have cast a vote on the day of the expedition
- The geohasher must not have reached the hash point, but shown significant effort towards reaching it.
- The vote must require physical presence (letter or e-voting on the same day just doesn't cut it)
- The vote must be of significant political importance (well, as far as that usually goes. But that's usually the kind of vote requiring physical presence among the other criteria for a free and democratic vote.)
- Proof: No picture of the voting ballot. :P Pictures of the voting booth are welcome.
Support
- support - I would like to encourage people to use their citizen rights. It's a physical achievement. And all the problems involved voting, fairness and possible manipulation will appeal to any security/mathematics/sociology geek out there. -- relet 15:13, 28 September 2009 (UTC)
- support - Koepfel talk 19:09, 28 September 2009 (UTC)
Elaborate comments
- There is also the consolation prize for people who did not go hashing, because they thought voting was more important. I would like to include this on the achievement page as well. I just don't think that consolation prizes need the same conflict-free, elaborate approval process as achievements do. ;) -- relet 15:13, 28 September 2009 (UTC)
