+
+## Proposal
+
+We would like to integrate a functionality that enables students to upvote other students' work. This would facilitate for students to fulfill the criteria: "The task is praised by the other students of this course", which is currently one of the criteria for "Course Automation".
+
+The action should perform the following:
+
+* When a specific label is included in a PR, create a comment on an issue with details from the Course Automation-folder (README-title and URL to project repository).
+* A comment is added to the PR when a comment has been added to the issue. A link to the issue-comment is included.
+* This enables people to upvote projects, by interting :thumbsup: on the comments.
+* The upvotes are collected and visualized in a table, in the form of a “Top-list”.
+
+We aim to fulfill the following criteria:
+
+* Deadline before April 6, 2021 (in order to be useful for the course)
+* The automation task produces a PR status or issue / PR comment and points to a generated page with valuable additional information
+* The automation task is reusable in other courses
+* The task runs on a standard platform (GitHub Action)
+* The task is praised by the other students of this course
+* The code for the task is available and the repo is well documented
