Is it going to be a problem to support IE8, 9, 10, 11 at once (in term > of workload)? IE has become a lot more standards compliant in its recent versions so supporting IE10 and IE11 should be less difficult for us that it was to support IE6, 7 and 8. On the other hand, I think we should apply the same strategy we have for the other browsers: support only the latest version. See http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/BrowserSupportStrategy . So I think the XWiki *community* should support only IE11. Private companies, like those listed on http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/Support#HProfessionalSupport can of course offer support for older versions of IE, but that is their business.
