 I 'like' mechanism is certainly a viable option. One could expand on
 this and possibly allow people to comment on a track or a speech,
 letting us know what people think about the track/speech and which
 questions/issues they'd like brought up there.
 

Daniel, the first rule of plugging is to actually mention somewhere the
name of the thing you are trying to plug...

 Just an idea :)
 
 With regards,
 Daniel.

I think the planned way to gauge that is by the number of submissions for 
a track, and on the ratings given to talk proposals in it.


I believe that the ability for people who have submitted talk proposals to 
rate other talks should be coming this week, but Steve can perhaps 
confirm? (The website software supports it, it needs a few tweaks before 
it can go live). If you've experienced the PyCon CFP before, then I'm told 
it'll be much the same process


Also, would it possible to show for each track how many papers have been 
submitted as well? This could help the audience and ourselves (PTC et

You should be able to see that in the review process when it's live

I wasn't trying to plug comments.apache.org, I was merely suggesting
that having people be able to comment on upcoming tracks might be an
idea worth exploring. Was it inspired by it? yes, but it wasn't meant as
a sales pitch. I think people already know of comments.a.o, and if the
organizers are interested, I'd be more than happy to show them how it
works, but it was not my intention to promote a specific piece of
software, it was my intention to promote an idea.

With regards,
Daniel.

on a site note, there's still a track called Web infractrusture. Can
someone fix this? The link in the list is correct, but the title at the
bottom still hasn't been fixed.

Good spot, should be fixed now

If someone fancies coming up with a slightly expanded description for the 
track to go on the website, we wouldn't say no! (Otherwise we'll bug the 
people listed as the track chairs for a bigger description a bit nearer 
the time)
