Synchronization with Mozilla Open Badges Backpack [#1537522]

Hi Morbus,

I've started building an add-on module that would allow users to save achievements from your module as badges in a Mozilla Open Badges Backpack.

http://beta.openbadges.org/
https://wiki.mozilla.org/Badges

This would allow users to showcase their achievements from multiple Drupal sites in a single backpack. What do you think about this idea? Would this be something you'd be interested in potentially including as a sub-module within Achievements, or should it be treated as an entirely separate project?

Thanks!

There are a few different and competing "global internet badges" things at the moment. Of them all, I'm liking Mozilla's OpenBadges the best and I've considered writing support for them myself but, I think at the moment I'd say "let's make it a contrib project". I'd love to see your code when it's ready, and help you out with any integration questions or general "how to do it better" etc. though! I'll leave this issue open as a reminder to ping about your progress.

Here's what I have so far, and it works!

It seems like the api is still changing some, though, so right now I don't have it hashing the user's email when it displays an assertion, which is a security issue.
