#### Does working on back yard and front street projects count towards the existing project badges?

My initial sense is "no", but I wanted to find out if others have discovered otherwise.

- I wouldn't think so, but I'm known to often be wrong. :)

- I've confirmed that they do not count. I've done 8 resource repair projects now with no badges achieved.

- Darn. I was hoping I was wrong.

- I did one and I didn't get the participand badge.

- but maybe they will after the test phase
  we can hope
  so ... since they don't count (yet) here is some food for thought, when (let's say) a patch dies and becomes a project...
  would you rather pay (beans, dirt, etc) to fix it?
  or would you rather "remove" it, and place a new one for fake imagination points (ie for free)?
  yeah, me too

  Well, for right now... OF COURSE!
  I would rather these tiny projects not count... if it means they can get larger scale projects to work well. They were fun! (And help with hoarding issues.)

- Yes, please give my hoarding a justification rather than it just being a compulsion!

- I think front streets should count. We are providing the resources for everyone who visits our street.

- As per my testing, the front and back yard projects do not count in aggregate towards the "participate in x number of street project" badges. I am hoping for some way to earn all of these badges eventually; Head Honcho seems so far away!

- At the moment the amount of material you have to supply is very low compared to what it will be when housing resets and goes live. So it's right that they don't count during this test.
  Will it count after housing reset and we have to supply even more materials to renew a resource?
  I suspect the amount of material you need to provide will still stay small compared to amount of material required for a Street Project though. So, unless they become comparable to Street Projects, it seems unlikely they will count even after the housing reset.

- I've been IM'd with regard to my response above from someone who has not taken part in a Street Project, and doesn't know the quantities that were involved
  Here's a chart of what each phase asks for (a Street Project, if I remember correctly had about 3 phases, 20 mins apart)
  docs.google.com/spreadsheet...
  As you can see these are on a very different scale to our home projects and are community oriented. No-one person will/can provide everything.
  PS. I am aware the Street Projects are being revamped, but I doubt the scale will change dramatically

- But I'm pretty sure you could contribute as little as one resource and still be counted as a contributor in the old street projects. The main difference I think is that the new home street resources are less community oriented, not really the amount of stuff you need to contribute.

- Well there are all these street project badges we can't get because there aren't any street projects and might not be that many in the future. They should figure out a way to give credit for the resources we contribute to our home streets (the public front street) and group halls (when they arrive).
  It would encourage people to take a more generous attitude re sharing resources on their home streets. Too many people want to lock their front gates. I know stealing is a bit of a problem but it would be nice to have more community gardens. The limited number of community gardens under the old housing system meant that a small groups of people tended to monopolize them.
