It depends what your goal is. If your goal is to use this by default with core MediaWiki, it's going to have to support Internet Explorer 6 and Firefox 3, as well as a lot of other browsers. If your goal is to create another WikEd, it can support whichever browsers you choose to support. Given the widespread use of Firefox 3, I can't see any widespread adoption of this tool happening without support for it, even if Firefox 4 is on the horizon. > Finally, there are, undoubtedly, a large number of bugs hidden in the > code. I assume they will be weeded out, given enough eyeballs (testers > and developers). Are you looking for testers and developers? Where would a tester submit a bug report? The page at http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WYSIFTW doesn't seem to address this. Also, is the use of document.write() still required in order to install the script? I thought that had been intentionally avoided for years in favor of importScriptURI(). (I suppose that would be my first bug report.)
