3. Defining it with words
" The open web is made up of four primary ingredients:
•Freedom: built with technology and content that
anyone can study, use or improve.
•Participation: anyone can participate or innovate
without asking permission from others.
•Decentralization: the architecture is distributed
and control is shared by many parties.
"
•Generativity: we can make new ideas from old
ones. As we use, we also hack and innovate.

13. Project's Roadmap
1. Create two sets of Open Web Badges: one for individuals
and one for websites.
2. Find a unified way to let participants display their badges
to the rest of the world.
3. Find a way to let people award badges to other websites
and gather details about Open Web technologies in use.
4. Develop light pieces of software, if required.
5. Reach hundreds of enthusiasts, thousands of websites,
and even more average Internet users, to start with.
14. Why it will be adopted
