Probably right. You have to be very motivated to do it just for fun....

Fine :)

I wonder why the possibility to send feedback should be tied to the buttons in 
the interface. 

Especially for bugs, I think that the easy, LikeBack-like way of reporting 
should be available in the Help menu even if the buttons are not displayed in 
dialogs (that means when LikeBack is not explicitly 'enabled'). I know the 
context gets lost, but in that case the user has to give the title of the 
dialog or give a short reproduction.

Mother-tongue speakers, please help!

Yes, sure. I didn't mean it literal, just to get the idea. And I also insist 
it should be in the help menu - even independently from the buttons in the 
interface :)

Possibly like this:

--------
Report a Bug...
Feedback to the Developers...
---------

While "feedback to the developers" (working title) allows to post positive and 
negative comments.  


An option

--------------------------
[_] Show Feedback Buttons in Dialogs
--------------------------

might go into both, bug and feedback dialog.


Good night
