I'm not sure how related is this, but Article Feedback allowed user rating + comment, and it was deployed in Wikimedia servers. Editors didn't find it that useful for regular articles (too much extra work processing too little value feedback on top of Talk pages), but maybe this could (with small or not so small adaptation, I don't know) in the very specific context of a beta feature page. For instance, imagine a page created specifically for a deployment of a specific version of a specific beta feature e.g. Winter 0.x. There you would expect ratings plus optional short feedback without requiring to the user any background nor any commitment to engage in a discussion. The deeper discussion would flow (pun intended) across releases at the beta feature talk page e.g. https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Talk:Winter -- Quim Gil Engineering Community Manager @ Wikimedia Foundation http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Qgil _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
