[tei-council] Badges... and I18N

[David Sewell]

I don't really want to take on the task of middleman to ask the badge
designer to create a version for each new language that someone wants.
As an alternative, do we want to make publicly available the underlying
editable format that he uses, so that people could create their own
versions?
