Deprecation policy for IE6

2011-06-09 Thread Idan Gazit
I'm looking at admin tickets, and I realize that some defined policy for when we can safely start to break IE6 would be very helpful. I'd like to simply declare that going forward, the admin need not work perfectly in IE6. That leaves our support footprint for the Admin at "modern browsers" +

I've seen a few admin themes in the wild. Would it be fair to say that after a certain (very near) date, if you need EOL browser support, it will have to be provided by a 3rd party theme? On Jun 9, 2011 7:11 AM, "Gert Van Gool" wrote: > On Thu, Jun 9, 2011 at 12:32, Idan Gazit wrote: > >> I'm loo

OK, by the power vested in me, I declare the admin unshackled from the need to support IE6. Reception and dancing shall follow. On Thursday, June 9, 2011 at 2:22 PM, Carl Meyer wrote: > On 06/09/2011 05:32 AM, Idan Gazit wrote: > > I'm looking at admin tickets, and I realize that some defined p

IE7 is almost just IE6 with tabs. In my opinion, going forward, IE support should be IE8+. Like said earlier, if someone really need support for IE7 and lower, they can still use Django 1.3. On Jun 9, 3:27 pm, Xavier Ordoquy wrote: > Le 9 juin 2011 à 15:06, Henrik Genssen a écrit : > > > the q
