# Proposal to add features to API Specifications Toolbox

I was thinking more deeply about Kevin's suggestion of using popularity as a metric. We could add upvoting to the API Specification Toolbox for various sections like videos, tools or whatever. Users would need to be logged in to vote and we could include an opt-in for a newsletter as part of the sign up process.

Benefits
- Community Engagement with the site
- Mail list development
- Initiate Newsletter by delivering the Weekly Landscape to start and revise over time
- Reuse of content by reporting on voting results
- Annual/Quarterly report on community choice
    - Most popular news
    - Most notable tools
    - Most popular videos
- Other ideas
