SMW, like any software, has it's issues. Knowing these I think it'd be a bad idea to try to deploy it on Wikipedia or Commons or whatever in its current state. Wikitech and MediaWiki wikis are a different story though. The ill-informed paranoia I was referring to consists out of thinking something not far from "SMW will make any wiki uber-complicated and explode". This certainly does not include concerns with deployment on the big WMF project wikis, which should be taken seriously. Cheers -- Jeroen De Dauw http://www.bn2vs.com Don't panic.
