I have read the posts about Firefox and the problems
that we have
supporting Internet Explorer. Would it be an idea to suggest that
Wikimedia is best experienced with Firefox / Opera / .. I am myself a
fan of Firefox, it really increases my productivity using two screens
with 9 tabs on average. That is what the Firefox experience is for me :)
Seriously though, when we do not allow MP3, would it not make equally
good sense to suggest that our content is best experienced not using IE
?? Needless to say, we would continue the support for IE !!
It only needs to be a small statement on our main page or on our user
portal ...
Thanks,

Hello,
There is an effort to spread firefox usage at:
http://www.spreadfirefox.com/
Basicly the idea is to ask people to put a firefox banner on their
website and track the number of click and downloaded firefox through the
banner. Material is available with source code at:
http://www.spreadfirefox.com/community/?q=affiliates/homepage
Wikipedia being NPOV I don't think we should enter the war. Moreover
saying "this site is best seen with firefox / opera" will just mean to
IE users that we are lazy webmasters that didn't want to put any effort
in supporting multi browsers (which is false, ask gwicke about css
tweaking).
So basicly, it's a good idea for freeness, but bad for NPOV :o)
