Hoi, I remember that when the security issues were discussed, I did contact the people who created the extension. I was told at the time that they would look into this. The question I have, is this security issue still relevant ? Thanks, GerardM

Hi!
Just re-incarnation of old idea to support 3D image of chemical structures... I played a little bit with Kalzium in KDE 4 today and discovered molecule viewer which render molecules in Chemical Markup Language.
CML (http://cml.sourceforge.net) is open XML-based format so we could allow it on Commons and provide files repository for other projects (such as Kalzium).
There is also Java-based open source viewer JMol (http://jmol.sourceforge.net) including web browser plugin. With JMol we could dramatically enreach chemistry/biochemistry related pages in Wikipedia/Wikibooks/Wikiversity in same way as we support Ogg media files playback now.
See:-
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Using_Jmol_to_display_molecular_model...
I have been trying off and on over a couple of years to get this on wikipedia. There is a mediawiki extension but it appears to have security issues. It needs someone to address these issues. Personally I would like to see Jmol on wikiversity and that might be a suitable trial before it goes on wikipedia.
More later in this discussion. I must run.
Brian.
Eugene.
