Hi, I was wondering whether completing Extension:Persona and perhaps also prototyping OpenBadges could be a possible project for Facebook Open Academy. You could be the technical mentor, and perhaps DGarry_(WMF) could give a hand co-mentoring as light-product-manager and a bridge to WMF extra dev support, if needed. I think Persona is a very interesting project that opens the door to many possibilities. "Certified" badges for MediaWiki & Wikimedia tech contributors is my not-so-hidden long term agenda, as you know.  :) The good thing about th Open Academy setup is that we can declare intentions now, and then plan with them (as opposed to needing a whole plan defined in advance before committing). What do you think? PS: Dan, some background just in case.

Hey, sound like a good idea to me! Once the patch in gerrit is merged, basic Persona authentication will work. I'll make some bugs for stuff that needs to be fixed. I'm guessing OpenBadges should probably be a separate extension.
