uPortal developers,
I'd like to see the project adopt a policy about what web browsers
uPortal supports. Fortunately, the Yahoo YUI folks have an A-grade
browser policy that I think[1] tracks very well with what uPortal
support ought to be. Making the policy that of supporting YUI-graded
A-grade browsers has some very nice properties in that they keep the
list up to date and so uPortal will have a go-to, commonly respected,
external criteria rather than dithering internally about which browsers
to support.
I've drafted a policy statement in the uPortal manuals:
uP3 manual: http://www.ja-sig.org/wiki/x/LYKi
uP2 manual: http://www.ja-sig.org/wiki/x/LIKi
I'd like for one of two things to happen:
1) A flurry of +1s and "huzzahs" sufficient to adopt this browser
support policy, so that we have one, making the project more marketable
and setting a path.
2) responses leading to discussion that brings us to an even better
policy statement, for which we can then have (1).
Thanks,
Andrew

committee, and Gary Thompson in helping me to become informed enough to
think about this.
