Hi,
with the help from User:Hoo_man, User:Danwe and other great people in the IRC I solved this problem.
the upload is done completely in Javascript now; sending the request to the FileuploadApi.
One Problem is that the extension should give users the option to send their feedback privately. But the FileuploadApi requires an edittoken, so each upload can be correlated with the uploading user.
Do you have any idea how to solve this problem? I thougt about creating a fake-user only for the fileupload.
best regards Lukas

Hi,
Thanks for the many comments on my extensions in gerrit. By now I handled most of them, but I have a big problem with the image-upload when creting the API module that should replace my shabby SpecialPage API.
I think that I could use mediawikis fileupload api (http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Upload). The problem is, that I have no idea how to start. I need the connection between the given feedback and the screenshot. By now the rendered screenshot is inside the POST-Request as base64 encoded binary data and written to the same table as the feedback.
best regards,
Lukas

Hi there!
I am Lukas Benedix, a student of computer science at the Freie Universität Berlin in Germany. In cooperation with the Wikidata developer team, I’m currently working on my bachelor thesis about usability testing in open source software projects and I’d like to provide the Wikidata community my developed feedback mechanisms (only as a test). Wikidata is a very active, emerging project which is why I think it’s a great platform for my project.
And now here's the problem: The deadline of my bachelor thesis is approaching soon. The test is designed to run for two weeks and I unfortunately underestimated how much time it needs to get a review for my extension before deployment.
Is it possible to accelerate that review process somehow? The extension is in gerrit (https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/50004)
Do you have any advice what I can do?
For further information about my project: Here's a little description I wrote for the Wikidata community: http://www.wikidata.org/wiki/User:Lbenedix/UIFeedback
Best regards, Lukas Benedix
