Yes, it is.

I'd like to improve the speech recognition and expected some advice about that.

Another possibility is to add a semantic level with NLP or use another library like Kaldi (http://kaldi-asr.org/).

Another particularity: the WAV file is serialized in JSON (as an array).

Why not use Markdown instead of MediaWiki syntax?

About URLs, you can take a look at StrongLink: https://github.com/btrask/stronglink

Your JSON subset is very interesting too: https://github.com/seagreen/Son

I'm thinking of something automated.

For example, it's possible to gather some metrics of the usage of libraries from a running process (with strace, google perftools, source maps in javascript...).

It can be a process used by a real user or autotests from the project.

A software could monitor those probes and allow the user to reward the dependencies that:

- use less CPU or energy

- use less memory

- contains less bugs

- ...
