I couldn't get classzilla running on a blue and white G3 running 9.0.2 when I tried it a couple months ago. I have a couple of these systems for driving some embedded hardware that never got moved to anything more modern, they'd be perfectly adequate systems for webbrowsing if you could get a workably up to date webbrowser on them: The IE the OS ships with hard locks the machine on apple.com of all places! I was only bothering to attempt this because I wanted to get a screenshot of cortado playing videos on something very old, and I only spent an hour or so on it. (Wikipedia, OTOH, worked fine with the IE that comes with the OS on those systems) But seriously. Outright *excluding* these old things shouldn't even be a consideration. Even a very small audience (like 0.02%) is tens of thousands of readers. Mediawiki (and the WMF deployment) already has many features which don't work / don't work well on fairly old systems, so that bridge has already been crossed, but outright dropping support for basic use? _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
