I am not sure if a Control Panel module makes most sense: this is
where you configure system settings, whereas the trophy viewer is a
viewer of available accomplishments. My feeling is that you mainly
view your trophies in a lens and when you click on it, it loads into
the trophy viewer and shows you the accomplishment info. I have just
built the My Trophies and Opportunities views into the viewer to (a)
make it easier to test the system and (b) add completeness for those
who don;t have the lens.

David has put together a first cut of this at
https://launchpad.net/unity-lens-trophies but I know he is looking for
folks to help with it.

It already does this. :-)

Yup, that is something the Launchpad team should weigh in on. I am
also keen to see a web-based trophy gallery, and Robin Gloster started
building this. I am not sure how much further Robin has got with it.

Love the ideas, Andrea, and if you want to help with any of these
things, feel free to dig in. :-)
