Hi everybody!

I am pretty sure most of the people on this list does not monitor wikitech
list, and this looked interesting.

In recent times QA has expanded our automated cross-browser testing: we
re-organized our builds, pointed the tests to beta labs wikis as well as
test2wiki, and we've written a number of new tests.  In the course of that
a lot of our builds for Internet Explorer versions began to fail.

I've just cleaned up most of the build failures and discovered what I think
are some interesting facts about support for older versions of Internet
Explorer across the set of WMF features.

Not supported in IE6:
AFTv5 by design
VisualEditor by design
UniversalLanguageSelector by design
Interlanguage "Add links" feature known issue
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=49139
PageTriage by design
PDF export broken: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=49485
Page editing: degraded UI
ACUX display garbled but functions, known issue

Not supported in IE7:
VisualEditor by design
UniversalLanguageSelector by design
Interlanguage "Add links" feature known issue
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=49139
PageTriage by design
PDF export broken: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=49485

Not supported in IE8:
VisualEditor by design
UniversalLanguageSelector minor issue
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=49447
Interlanguage "Add links" feature known issue
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=49139

Not supported in IE9:
AFTv5 broken for now
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=49445(AFTv5 has a
history of IE9-only issues)
VisualEditor broken for now
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=49187
Interlanguage "Add links" feature known issue
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=49139

One other interesting note:  we have an effective test for GuidedTour (it
has turned up regression bugs) that runs properly across all the browsers,
so thanks E3 team.
