Sure, I agree.  I still think badges just sound fun.  :-)

It's at least something that can be automated.  Mentoring and such is
important, of course, but takes a much bigger time investment from a
much bigger group of people.

I think we can view improving mentoring and on-boarding as a slightly
different but related issue than badges, which could be a fun way to
recognize and reward contributions.
