For future reference, I (finally) emailed TheDJ on May 26 -- I'm pasting the
text below:

Hi TheDJ,

I'm not sure if you know Roan Kattouw, a developer who works with us at the
Wikimedia Foundation.

I recently asked him to help me install HotCat on a private wiki we use. (I'm
not very good with technical configuration!)

He tried to install it, but he told me there was an issue with HotCat's design
that prevents it from working on private wikis, and that I should check with
you to see if it could be changed. (I'll quote his exact words below):

Second, HotCat uses JSON callbacks even to query data on the same domain. This
is completely unnecessary (no cross-domain restrictions apply, so callbacks
aren't needed and AJAX can be used instead) but does break on private wikis
because callbacks always operate as anonymous users.

Does what he says make sense? If so, is it something that you could change?

If you have technical questions, it might be best to direct them directly to
Roan [[User:Catrope]].

It would make a big difference for us here, and presumably on any number of
other private MediaWiki installations!

Thanks for any help,
-Pete
