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
