Hi,

Thank you all for the comments in gerrit. I worked on all of them and I 
think the extension is much better by now. It would be great if you 
could have a second look on the extension to get it deployable sometime.

I realized, that the time was too short for a whole review and changed 
the plans for my thesis, I removed the real-world testings from the 
study design.

I really want to see a convenient feedback mechanism for future 
mediawiki developments. I hope that my extension could be a good start. 
There are some unanswered questions, such as the anonymous upload of the 
rendered screen shots, and room for improvement especially at the 
customizability of the feedback forms and the special page with all 
given feedback.

kind regards
   Lukas Benedix
