["Bruno Peeters (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

Bruno Peeters commented on JSPWIKI-89:
--------------------------------------

At my employer we are still using IE6 and I am not aware of any plans to migrate to IE7. Individual users of JSPWIKI will probably all have switched to IE7 (or FF). Corporate uses often do not have the choice. If IE6 support will be dropped, corporate users of JSPWIKI risk to be stucked in an older version of JSPWIKI.

> As Microsoft is pushing IE 7 to almost all desktops out there, the question is, how much longer do we need to keep supporting IE6?  I understand Dirk has had many issues with IE support, so how long do we want to keep it on our support list for the default template?  There is a certain point during which the effort brings no significant gain.
> I'm opening this item here so we can keep track of it here, but I'm not yet assigning a version before we've discussed this thoroughly.  If JSPWiki was consumer software, then the decision would be easy, but there are loads of companies out there who're still standardized on IE6.
> IE6 still has a ~30% market share, but it's waning. http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_stats.asp
> Of course, it took about four years for IE5 to drop from 30% to 5%, so this Issue might be here for a long time...
