Badges/bsd/wiki/list of badge issuers
From MozillaWiki
A database of badge issuers would be useful to the evolving badge ecosystem. The list below has been seeded from the list at http://openbadges.org/participating-issuers/. Add badge systems that you know of to the list below. See the list of common attributes to maintain consistency. Some issuers will have just one badge system (a collection of badges that work together) and some will have many.
Some attribute values are preceded by tilde '~' to indicate that the value is a best guess based on available information. The badge issuers or others closely involved with the badge system should verify the content and update with a non-tilde value.
