<div dir="ltr">I like the idea of adding feedback buttons to the website (not just the PEPs). I'm not sure how much you can get people vote with that much though. Maybe just a yes/no (like MSDN does) or a star-rating (1-5)?<br>

<br>
In order to improve workflow it is important to collect data about<br>
the process. Even if Python doesn't have any kind of democracy,<br>
meritocracy or other kind of political system (well, dictatorship?),<br>
it is nice to estimate how many people are really involved in the<br>
process of language evolution.<br>
<br>
For example, there is a new accepted PEP 440 which is<br>
authored by two people (documented in PEP), and they are<br>
are listed in credits. They definitely put a lot of work in making it<br>
happen. Other people had less chances to monitor the progress,<br>
and in my opinion this is the reason why handling semantic<br>
versioning was not given enough attention - proposing to convert<br>
versions instead of specifying mechanism for packages to<br>
specify alternative versioning system:<br>
<a href="http://legacy.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0440/#semantic-versioning" target="_blank">http://legacy.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0440/#semantic-versioning</a><br>
<br>
But, my opinion is an opinion and it will stay so until it is backed<br>
up by data that can put some weight to my words. This can be<br>
possible if PEP pages allowed people with registered accounts<br>
to provide structured feedback for PEP in a form of three metrics:<br>
<br>
% of text read - 0 .. 100% (approximate)<br>
Text clarity - 0 .. 5 (how hard to understand the text)<br>
PEP coverage - 0 .. 5 (does the PEP cover your case well)<br>
Accept / Reject / Clarify / meh.<br>
Optional (reason/comment):<br>
