I do not get the security concerns either, but Tim Starling was very concerned a couple of years ago. I e-mailed him 2 weeks ago and he has not replied. I suspect that the WMF techs have put Jmol into the too hard basket. Also, much as I would love to have Jmol on WP, I do not see a lot of support. I raised it in two places on the English WP. The response was rather thin. See these two discussions:- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Chemistry#Jmol_on_wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Using_Jmol_to_display_molecular_models#Is_this_the_time.3F I am really not sure where we take it now. It just is not getting anywhere. Maybe the wikimedia technical email list is worth a try. What do you think?
