I thank them for putting their hands up and would
be happy to make that
happen.
That said, there is a disclaimer. Hovercards is a side project for almost
all of us that are involved in it. This means that we have very limited
time to try to fix bugs, so we have a responsibility to focus that time on
the intended users of the feature (content wikis). We can't promise to
spend time developing the feature so that it's suitable on wikis outside
our intended focus, like chapter wikis. We'll try to fit it in, but we
can't promise.
If that sounds okay, I'll file a bug to get it deployed.
Thanks everyone!
Dan

Jared,
Does it really matter that they are not a content wiki? Seems great that
we have an offer for some place out of the box, especially if the wiki 1)
wants the involvement, and 2) can see value in a tool that you may not
considered from the PoV of a chapter's use.
I would like to congratulate on one of the chapters for putting-up their
(collective) hand to be involved in having that switch flicked.
Regards, Billinghurst

I agree with you Erik, that there should be a way
to disable for
readers,
the team is thinking about possible alternatives
currently. As well as
making sure that logged in users have full control over using
hovercards,
navigation popups, or turning off link previews
all together.
Jan, we can possibly plan on including sverige wiki in the pilot
program
if
that works for Dan and the community there,
however the beta feature is
really more geared toward content wikis (wikipedia, wiktionary) rather
than
other wiki types.
