If the Swedish chapter would like Hovercards turned on on their wiki then 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
