 That's awesome, you've made great progress on this :)

 Here's what I think the next steps are:

 1. PHP doesn't come with ZipArchive activated by default, so we should
 display an error message on the page if it's not  available.
 1. A lot of the columns would never be used on a badge, so we should only
 have options for the relevant ones:
   * First and Last name
   * E-mail Address
   * Ticket Type
   * WordPress.org Username
   * Coupon
 1. We don't need an option to 'Include Gravatars', since the whole goal of
 this ticket is to get them.
 1. If a camp has hundreds or thousands of attendees, the script will take
 a very long time to run, so we shouldn't make the user wait that whole
 time. [[br]][[br]]Instead, after they submit the form, we should display a
 message saying that the script is running, and to check back in a few
 minutes. Then, we can fire off an asynchronous process to generate the zip
 file. [[br]][[br]]Once that's done, we'll show the user a link to download
 the file through their browser, rather than the pending message. This is
 also more user-friendly than asking them to download the zip file over
 s/FTP.[[br]][[br]]We can't store the zip file in `wp-content`, though,
 because that would expose any private information (like e-mail addresses).
 So, instead the file should be stored in `get_temp_dir()`, and then the
 download link will actually be a form submission, and the function that
 handles the POST will just output the zip file contents as a download,
 similar to how the regular Export tool works.
 1. The plugin should `usleep( 100000 )` just like the CLI script did, so
 that Gravatar.com isn't flooded with requests.
