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?
