launchpadlib et al Guidance

by | Tue 28 Feb 2012

Recently I have been working on the [Ubuntu Accomplishments](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Accomplishments) system and at the heart of the system is the ability to be able to detect if someone has successfully completed various tasks in the community. We can also provide guidance and recommendations for how to get started with new tasks in the community; this will help people be able to explore our community more easily.

I have brainstormed a list of potential accomplishments we could write scripts to detect [on this wiki page](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Accomplishments/Trophies/Scripts) but I wanted to ask if any launchpadlib expertt can contributed some guidance for how I would get started writing these scripts.

I have also included other accomplishments outside of Launchpad (e.g. loco.ubuntu.com and summit.ubuntu.com related topics), so if those of you familiar with sites could offer any guidance, that would be great. Thanks!
