I agree that we need to officially support IE10/11. We’ve been waiting too long for that aready. Actually we started doing this for XWiki 5.4.x and we fixed all issues we knew at that time for IE10/11. However we’ve had some regression in XWiki 6.0-SNAPSHOT because we upgraded the GWT version we were using and that caused issues. I’ve seen that Marius has fixed some issue already for the WYSIWYG: XWIKI-9698, XWIKI-10282 and XWIKI-10283. So I’m +1 to start officially supporting IE10/11 and add them to http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/BrowserSupportStrategy (which I’ve updated with a netmarketshare report). @Marius: you’re probably the one who’s done most of the browser support so far. Is it going to be a problem to support IE8, 9, 10, 11 at once (in term of workload)?
