Hi Caty,

Hi Jeremie,
What version of XWiki are you using? Do you plan to upgrade to 6.x? 6.x
timeframe is by the end of the year (Dec 2014). Do you think you will still
be using IE8 next year (I don't know either how IT departments schedule the
upgrades)?
Well I currently use both 4.x (prod) and 5.x (tests). Usually I wait for
several iterations (near the end of an xwiki cycle or even far after the
end) to put a version in prod. I upgrade test server, when I think about it
or have some time to do so :) I think my next move will be to upgrade prod
to last 5.x version available, and there are chances that I stick on it for
a long time.
For IE8 I really don't know when it may be upgraded by our IT. Currently we
can upgrade by ourselves, but as we need to support IE8 on our own products
right now, it's somewhat easier to stick with it on our computers.
Obviously, I don't mean in any way that you should stick with IE8, just
providing my own feedback :) If you have to I'll adapt to the choice.
I think there's also a difference, between stopping support of a specific
browser version (and usually, there are chances that issues appear only
later, and that you can still use old version with almost no impact for
some time), and moving to a new technology or architecture that implies a
complete break of usability on old versions. Here I suspect it may be more
of the second kind. Gmail does not support IE8, but for the time being, the
only impact I saw personnally, is a message with a recommendation to
upgrade my browser version ...
Thanks,
Caty

Hello,
Well, not everyone is that lucky :)
Currently as you said it's an Enterprise wiki, and some enterprises do
not
necessarily shine with being up-to-date.
Currently in mine our official
browser is still IE8. And most of our customers also stick to IE8. In
this
kind of context there is no solution, except
praying that your IT will
schedule some upgrade not too far from now.
Not saying this is representative of the majority - I have no idea. I
hope
not.
4 years seem quite old, but in my opinion it's quite sad to see that many
web apps have to drop support for so recent browsers versions, due to
maintenance costs (though completely understandable). We could have
imagined that a responsive js framework could gracefully manage when
browser is not responsive (do you remember, when web sites could imagine
that you didn't want to activate javascript and still "work" ? :) ). If
the
intention of these frameworks is to reach
everyone everywhere from every
device, then it would seem logical to manage every browser ;-) But I must
say I'm not sure of what it means, or amount of work that would be
needed.
BR,
Jeremie
PS: my own computer is more than 4 years old :)

Btw, 4 years is a lot of time. Who has a 4 year computer today?
You lost some old browser users, but you win some android, iPad and
Iphone
