Hi Max,
I'm looking at Flow today. The documentation talks about how to replace
individual pages or entire namespaces with flow boards (using
$wgFlowOccupyPages and $wgFlowOccupyNamespaces). However, is there a way to
embed a Flow board at the base of a wiki page, as a more traditional
commenting system might look like? Also, is there a way to query for Flow
comments with parameters such as Flow comments by user, Flow comments by
associated page, etc?
Thanks,
Jason Ji

Thanks for your feedback. To clarify a bit,
we're not thinking of using
LiquidThreads as it is - we have a different extension we will be
building,
with some different needs than LQT has. For
example, we may not need any
integration with watchlists. So our thought is that we might fork LQT and
modify it to suit our needs. We're still very early in the design phase.
The bad part of LQT is not about interaction with watchlist. It will be
essentially untouched by any trimming short of complete rewrite.
Max - when you say just use Flow, do you mean we
should fork the Flow
code
base and work from there, or that we should just
install Flow? Flow looks
interesting, but we're not sure it will have the features we need, and
our
timeframe is likely to be shorter than the
timeframe of Flow development.
If you fork something, you will have to maintain it forever - why not put
the same effort in contributing to mainline instead? And Flow is quite
complete for most use cases, and its team is mostly working on adding
support for various crazy workflows user communities have created in more
than 10 years without a good discussion system. I don't think you need to
wait for these.
Is there somewhere I can go read in detail about
the bugs and unfixable
problems with LQT? We might not fork LQT at all, but we were also
thinking
of using wiki pages to store comment text. So if
that idea is
fundamentally
broken, it would be great to know why.
I already explained why, bugs are here:
