We have a budget that we can use. I would just need to get a sign off at the next meeting. I don’t want to stop at badges. [SustainOSS.org](http://SustainOSS.org) really needs some TLC. So if we can package all of that work into one contract _ **I think** _ that might be the way to go.

Edit: I really like [https://www.openfoodnetwork.org/](https://www.openfoodnetwork.org/) (minus the scroll hijacking)
