    20 : note that [https://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo/ticket/1817#Rocheproposal my proposal] has always been to do initial development through alpha-testing on a freehost, aka an external SMW provider, precisely to avoid any such collision.

    2222This brings us to our first main (indeed, fundamental) difference. You want to use the current wikihost. That was my intention, until I learned that the current wiki is so very downlevel (see ticket:1819) as to be insecure. For confirmation that this is not merely my opinion, see [https://sourceforge.net/p/semediawiki/mailman/semediawiki-user/thread/87a8cyzmbm.fsf%40pobox.com/#msg35496996 this thread on SMW-users]. Regarding contributors to that thread, note that Jeroen De Dauw is [https://www.semantic-mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:SMW_Project#Development SMW's co-core developer] and Karsten Hoffmeyer (kghbin) is the [https://www.semantic-mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:SMW_Project#Website_and_Documentation editor in chief of SMW's website and doc] (as well as the operator of !WikiHoster). So while I am certainly an SMW newbie, my concerns regarding the insecurity of the current wikihost's configuration are shared by folks who are much more experienced with SMW and MW than I and probably you.
