In regards to Removing of thumb size limits on big png's. Are you sure about that?
bugzilla:32721 seems to suggest it will be a little further off until that's ready, at least for PNG images.

Yes, I had missed that comment by Tim and was still working under the impression that PNGs were going to be as successful as TIFFs. Since I didn't imply that PNG support was going to land soon anyway, I shall simply correct the article for posterity rather than file a full correction. -

Well, both in a sense. The "bug" is what rotated it like it is, but it was the uploader who effectively uploaded it the right way up but with instructions to rotate it clockwise by 90 degrees. Hence the confusion. -

I haven't been impressed with article feedback so far. What has it accomplished? As far as ArticleFeedback version 5, I'd guess it suffers from the same problem as its predecessors: it doesn't look like it's designed to aid in making decisions. A basic rule for designing feedback surveys is that you should know 1st what use you will make of the data. So, for example, if you want to know whether you should invest in hardware that will make it easier to include images, or hardware that will make it easier to include audio you would ask questions about the use of images and audio. So far it looks like you are just asking "Do you like it?" What use can you make of that data?

In defence of the scheme, the purpose of the data collection to date has been primarily on testing out what forms of tool elicit what kinds of input – it is precisely "designed to aid in making decisions", just not those you might think. On another point, one of the main reasons for the development of the tool is not to harvest information but to encourage recruitment of readers. So I don't think it's helpful to judge the AFT on the testing phase thus far.

Ok, I can believe that it was experiment to test a theory about soliciting feedback to achieve purposes other than surveying feedback. I can even believe the experimenters now have a better understanding of the null hypothesis. This little guinea pig went home. ~

Sorry that was me (in my comment above, i used the wrong prefix for bugzilla [I used bug, and there's a language with that code]).
