--- Comment #5 from Gilles Dubuc <[email protected]> --- That fact could be made clearer in OOjs's README.md or a similar prominent place. I'm not sure that Mark knew this caveat at the time he embarked our project on the OOjs train. I think it would be very easy for another project to miss that fact as well. Resources.php is a really odd place if it's the sole warning. Full support aside, the fix to this bug is simply renaming "super". Seems like a quick win for potentially making Media Viewer available to more than 1 in 20 visitors who currently can't use it. I would have submitted a patch, but since this is the name of an important feature in your framework, I'd rather let you pick the new name. I understand that advanced WYSIWIG VE stuff is hard to do in ES3 and older, so ruling those browsers out for VE makes sense considering the effort/reward ratio. But what OOjs provides doesn't seem to me like it justifies ignoring 5%+ of our visitors, particularly if you're pushing for foundation-wide use of that framework (seems to be the reason why we ended up using it, anyway), since most features developed by the foundation don't do things as advanced as VE where older browsers are hard to support. I'm pretty sure that this bug right here is the only thing preventing OOjs ES3 support, at least for the subset of OOjs features that Media Viewer is using. I recall using Media Viewer fine in IE 6, 7 and 8 in January/February, which seems consistent with the timeline, considering that the code triggering the bug seems to have been introduced in March. If you fix this, you'll be getting continuous free help from us as a consumer of these frameworks when it comes to older IE support, because we'll be keeping an eye on it and submitting bug reports and patches when issues arise. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Wikibugs-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
