[geeklog-devel] CrowdTranslator - Gamification

[Benjamin Talic]

So the first part of gamification is done, I just added the first 3 badges,
First Vote, First Trasnlation and n-th translation.
Displaying all the badges is done on the Crowd Translator public page and I
have made it like in the attachment. (Awarded has opacity 1 others are
faded)

Thank You for all the suggestions :)

>BTW Thanks for your hard work.
Thank you for this, made my day :)
