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.)
