Hi, Most user on this list are probably not aware of the current discussion that takes place on Wikitech-l [1] about "How SMW might help mw.org/wikitech.org" but what caused a moment of silence was the following comment.
"I don't support moving to Semantic MediaWiki, which to me as user seems like a somewhat arcane and bloated piece of software that will require me and lots of people to relearn how we write documentation and project tracking" [2] I'm interest to hear if users on this list think that SMW is a "bloated piece of software" with users generally required "to relearn how we write"? Are there reason why such misconception exists among mediawiki users (under the pre-assumption that is not a misconception)? Another issue during the discussion was "general concern has been scalability and perhaps relatedly the ability of users to execute poorly optimized queries (maliciously or otherwise)" [3] Comments about performance related concerns, are those concerns still valid for the current release? Are there any hard evidence that suggests using SMW on a wiki will inevitable decrease performance (comparing numbers not opinions)?
