So, this is something I've been struggling with since early LQT designs. My ideal solution would be a hover over that shows X people, and then a "click to see all" thing, that then opens up a jQuery dialog with everyone listed. However, I think that this behavior is something that we won't be able to pull together in the time we have allotted, which is why I did the minimal version.
Quora's system work similar to this (and scales for hundreds of names), so I think we should be okay.--Jorm (WMF) 22:32, 7 December 2011 (UTC)
