I think we mentioned at watirday that we should communicate spec capabilities for the different browsers and APIs in the watir domain.
Is this something we can automate from watirspec? i.e. output a table and reference on Watir.com: API IE6 IE7 IE8 IE9 FF3 FF4 etc watir 100% 98% 98% 80% n/a firewatir safariwatir watir-webdriver etc Maybe also indicate the different versions/channels of APIs available e.g. stable, dev, beta Logical questions from newbies are: 1. what version of watir should I use? 2. is it stable, used in production (yes I know FB uses it but they are on an old version for example) 3. where is the doco for the version I use We communicate that it's cross platform, multi browser but that's only true in certain combinations with ruby version X, api choice Y and api version Z Thoughts?
