Hello, I'm the latest guy to be tasked with implementing a voluntary "green star" donor badge system on MilkyWay@home, and I'm wondering how to go about this. I found a message in the archive by someone else, (http://lists.ssl.berkeley.edu/pipermail/boinc_dev/2012-July/018641.html) but I don't see a "donations.inc" in our "project" folder.
Additionally, our home institution wants us to handle donations through their donation system. So what I need to know is the best way for our server to receive information that will get the green star to show up. My thinking is that it would be easiest for us to add a donation element to our database, which would be updated by a script when our server receives data from the donations server. The "green star" would then be generated by querying the database. I'm also trying to figure out how credit milestone badges are generated, and maybe I'll be able to use that system to manage donor badges? Any suggestions will be useful!
