Declare War on Internet Explorer 6 via Wired Top Stories door Michael
Calore op 19-2-09 Several prominent websites in Norway are refusing to
support the antiquated IE6 browser any longer, and have posted messages
to IE6 users urging them to upgrade. The campaign has caught on, and is
beginning to spread to other countries.
No. Many users are forced to use IE6 because their workplace relies
on it for intranet applications, for instance. These users will
eventually be forced to upgrade as time moves on, but it's not
appropriate for Wikipedia to go out of its way to make their lives any
more difficult than they already are. IE6 support is not a major
barrier to new features at this point that I'm aware of, so the gain
to us would be marginal.
There are different levels of support. We should certainly make sure
things fail gracefully for IE6, but a new feature not working on IE6
shouldn't be a reason not to implement it for everyone else. (I
believe that is pretty much the current policy already.)
