Right, this is a good point (autoupdate). Right now we're not really
supporting IE7 yet but we definitely need to add it.
I think we need to say explicitely what browsers
we're supporting on
wiki.org and then make sure we test with all those browsers when
we make any
change.
So what's the list of browsers we want to support?
I think the minimal list is:
* IE6
* FF 1.5
* FF 2.0
Do we want to officially support more? (with the available
committers/contributors we have of course - Otherwise we could
support all
the browsers on earth :-)).
Don't forget IE7 - judging from logfiles I had access to, almost
50% of
the IE6 users have already switched (due to the autoupdate).
Supporting IE 7 should be easy, though - except that
some IE Tweaks
(don't know if you use any) should check for IE <=6 instead of just
IE.
Apparently nothing is easy when it comes to browsers and especially
IE... :-) We already have some JIRA issues for stuff that need fixing
in IE7. Please also open new issues if you find anything not working
in IE7.
So do we all agree that our minimal list of browsers we're supporting
is:
* IE6
* IE7
* FF 1.5
* FF 2.0
If so I'll add some note on the web site (I'll add the JDK 1.5
requirements too at the same time - I'll create a prerequisites
section). It also means that when we add some new feature or fix
something we need to test it with all these browsers!
Thanks
