Note that in order to be able to write good responses, one typically has to 1) check the user's contribs (and diffs), 2) add links to specific relevant help pages, processes, etc. So this isn't quite at the level of a micro-contribution like tagging images; it does require a fair amount of navigating around, typing, etc.

An easy way to get our feet wet with mobile mood bar would be to use it as a general purpose feedback mechanism for mobile beta users.
