> Key: JSPWIKI-89
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JSPWIKI-89
> Project: JSPWiki
> Issue Type: Wish
> Components: Default template
> Reporter: Janne Jalkanen
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 3.0
>
> Original Estimate: 0h
> Remaining Estimate: 0h

> 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.

> 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...
