@nsieber and I discussed briefly about which browsers/versions we should support.
I'm used to "The latest version of all major browsers + two versions back, as well as any browsers/versions that amount to 5% or more of website traffic."
We thought of going with that to start with and see how that works out. We can definitely revisit if that turns out to be problematic.
We don't have traffic data at the moment so for launch I guess we'll just worry about the "The latest version of all major browsers + two versions back" part.
Note that by "support", we mean "accessible and usable". Not necessarily "looks the same in all browsers". For example, if IE6 has more than 5% traffic-share, it doesn't have to get the fancy CSS transitions, but visitors must be able to use/access all the directory features/info (search, browse, application-form, etc).
"Major browsers" in this context currently means:
Chrome/Chromium
Firefox
Safari
Internet Explorer
All of the above in their desktop and mobile variants. We can of course revisit that list later as well.
