Hi @pherterich, @hughshanahan; after (re)checking the document, I don't see anything which should be changed here; can you confirm, and if correct, resolve this issue?

Looking at the edits @hughshanahan has made to the initial issue vs. the doc, I think this just adds one role: co-chair.

I'm currently trying to understand what that does (vs. badges). Do we need to review this part instead? https://amy.charminghat.nl/admin/communityroles/communityroleconfig/ Sorry, it's been a while, so I'm trying to remember where things live and how they connect.

Badges are sort of like achievements; basically signifying someone has earned competency in a course, or as an instructor, or something similar. Badges are tied to a Person, while a Community Role represents a role within a set community.

The difference, I suspect, is in concept; yes, you could add/remove badges to represent these roles, but that sort of "strips" the achievement. The CommunityRole represents the living record of what status people hold. Furthermore, the relation is different; one can be a Founder in one community and have been Maintainer in another; they would have two badges, but they would have one active CommunityRole.

Is any work on this still required, or can this item be closed?

(I've added the co-chair manually)
