Frequently asked questions (and answers)
What does oik stand for?
oik is an acronym for “often included key-information”.
But why did you choose that?
I wanted something short and memorable. oik may not be the best acronym I could come up with but it satisfies another desire of mine to somehow be related to Bobbing Wide. It’s actually the last word before Bobbing Wide… if you know where to look. For more information see Rethinking the Bobbing Wide API plugin name.
