I am on a costly slow and brief modem, mostly batched by wwwoffle. So it is hard for me to submit bugs and comments interactively.
Indeed there should be a page saying how 3rd world users could interact best with your site, e.g., It would be nice if there was a email way to add comments to discussion Talk: pages.
Also I would like to note that when one sees "Your account has been created. Don't forget to change your Wikipedia preferences.", the "Wikipedia preferences" should be a link!

I'm all for this option; however, edit conflicts would be difficult to avoid on heavily edited pages. User authentication is another obvious problem; my preferred solution can be discerned from my .sig and the attachments to this message.

I think the suggestion is just for them to be able to send a comment that would be stuck on the comments page - another user would then at some stage integrate that into the page text. You see this happening already sometimes, people drop by, say they don't know how to work wikipedia, but ... is wrong with the following page.

Email form button? mailto:helpdesk-l, or something similar, presetting the subject as "Comment on {{PAGENAME}}". We could then either correct it, bin it, or leave a talk-page comment.
