How can I get earned badges to post to my OBI Backpack? I have two earned badges in Webcraft, and my email address in my P2PU account is the same as my BrowserID used for the backpack. I am trying to see the badges appear at beta.openbadges.org/backpack. Any help appreciated - I'm trying to learn about managing badges.

    Hi Dane,

    The OBI specification is currently in beta and is not standardized. Once the specification is finalized, you will be able to include your P2PU badges in the backpack.

    Cheers,

    Are the Badges images on individual profile pages in P2PU actually baked with the information? I tried downloading one and uploading to the backpack, but got error message "Could not reach endpoint: invalid url, DNS, 4xx or 5xx".

    Thanks for your info!

    I think you're referring to the meta-data in the badge image files. We're not currently including the meta-data because the open badges specification isn't final yet. Once it's finalized we will add that support.

    Cheers,
