Ability to rate sessions / speakers

Description

Hi there,

Having the ability to rate a session you attended (or the speaker) would be a great way to allow speakers to improve their talks from feedback. I know sessions are a CPT so maybe it's just a case of opening comments and adding the ability to rate it.

However, I wonder if it would be a better idea to have it in a central place like on your WordPress.org profile?

The example I'm looking at is ​https://joind.in/ which a lot of the PHP community uses.

Hey @seags , thanks for posting a ticket :)

RE: Rating to help improve. Ratings don't actually help. Real written reviews do.

Putting it globally -

That sounds like a quick way for new speakers to get shamed globally, remain at 1 star rating and stop speaking entirely.

@Kenshino great, thanks for the feedback. I agree on having written reviews. The only issue I see is that it should probably have an option to be anonymous as honest feedback would help speakers.

I think ratings still do help as it's a quicker way to get feedback and understand which talks people prefer. So if I do 2 talks and talk A has a higher rating then I could use that talk at another WordCamp.

Putting it globally: I think a way around that would be to only show ratings after a certain amount of talks and / or ratings. I do think global ratings should be a discussion for a later time (depending on what happens with ratings anyway).

This is something the Community team has been wanting to do for a while, but so far it hasn't made it to the top of the list.

Before anyone works on a patch, the team needs to discuss what features it should have, how it should work, etc. That discussion needs to happen on ​the p2 and in Slack, since most of the team members don't follow Trac.

I wonder if we could pull in ratings and comments from WordCamp.tv?

As per @melchoyce idea, why not using the input from WordPress.tv and youtube.com/wordpress?
Or to think even further: is it not sufficient to read it there? Do we need it somewhere else?
