Adding overhead process to giving feedback about
design results in less feedback. I don't want people to have to read an instruction
booklet before they feel like they can tell me if they like or hate something.
I've gone ahead and WP:BOLDly reworked

into something that is a little more end-user friendly. We want more feedback, not
less.

Hi,
I totally agree with your on "nobody wants to read instructions" but I think
that leaving the context is not a very good idea if you really want to have feedback. If I
click on "Leave Feedback", I get to an empty wiki page, get confused and never
try to give feedback again.
At the moment I'm writing a gadget based on the mediawiki extension I developed for
my bachelor-thesis. It allows users to send feedback in the form of a screenshot with
annotations.
Here you can try the actual version of this feedback mechanism (the green feedback-button
on the right side of the page; when you click on send a screenshot of the page is rendered
and appended to the site)

This is the type of gadget we'd like to have but the problem is that we need it to be
able to run in situations where:
1) There isn't a wiki
2) We don't have a backing store on the server that we're running it on
(Yeah, I know. Not very easy.)
