Hi,
One year ago (Mar 2014) [1] we discussed dropping support for IE8 for the
6.x cycle. The vote did not pass.
Since then, we started the support for IE10/IE11 (Jun 2014) [2].
You can see some statistics and the current browsers we support at
http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/BrowserSupportStrategy
This mail is about voting the drop of support for IE8/IE9 for cycle 7.x.
WDYT?
My +1
Well, IE8+9 still account for close to 30% of browser shares according to your link. Is it
wise to drop a potential 30% user base? :)
What’s the current status of IE8/9 in XWiki 7.1 for example (Do we have lots of opened
issues for them)?
WDYM by dropping support: Do we remove code specific to support IE8/9 now or do we just
stop fixing issues raised for IE8/9 from now on and we remove the specific code in 8.0?
Thanks

Thanks,
