Re: [xwiki-devs] What browsers do we officially support?

Marius is working on this when he finds some free time, but it would be great if users would contribute some patches, too. Still, except the WYSIWYG which mostly works in all browsers, we have full support for almost all browsers, from links and lynx to Chrome passing through Konqueror and Safari, Firefox, IE (and variants), Opera. I haven't tested, but probably works in Galleon, too. It looks pretty much OK in mobile browsers as well, though we need to optimize the skin for small screens.

It's supposed to work without scripts, too. The menus need to be fixed, Flavius had a working prototype but didn't get to finish it yet. What doesn't work in the Admin app? So, ideally XWiki should work reasonably well in the following situations: - without Javascript - without stylesheets - without images - in a text browser - in a screen reader (not so good at the moment) Note that we're somewhat committed to be WCAG AA compliant, and we could also be ATAG compliant soon (almost there). We still need to improve our ARIA practices. >>> Are there multiple levels of support?
