KFeedbackWizard - another try

Hi,

I don't think this kind of feedback wizard is very useful :
1) There is a lot of sociological theory that proves that multiple choices 
questionaries gives back a distorted version of truth. If we translate the 
questions in multiple language the problems become even worse due to cultural 
differences.  
2) There are already plenty of channels (mailing lists, bugzilla, irc) of 
interaction between the developpers and our users.
3) Who is going to sort and interpret the results and digest them for the 
developpers ?

What would be much more useful is a voluntary feedback system of how people 
use kde :
- What configuration options they have used or not
- What applets they have in kicker
- What applications they have launched last month 
- What documentation they have read...

Having some kind of statistical engine telling us what is popular and 
unpopular would help next time we need to clear some dead wood in KDE, or 
make it possible to find some patterns of use and adapt our defaults to these 
patterns, or understand what is easy to find in KDE and what is badly 
explained or publicized

Cheers,
Charles
