No. Many users are forced to use IE6 because their workplace relies on it for intranet applications, for instance. These users will eventually be forced to upgrade as time moves on, but it's not appropriate for Wikipedia to go out of its way to make their lives any more difficult than they already are. IE6 support is not a major barrier to new features at this point that I'm aware of, so the gain to us would be marginal. _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
