Requirements Change

rombert 2013/04/24 12:07 this is IMO something which we justify with features, not something which is a feature candidate

vboctor - agreed. However, dropping support for certain environments is something that we may need to communicate to the community and get feedback. A survey is one avenue for that. For example, do people care if we require javascipt? drop IE 6 support, etc?

rombert 2013/04/25 12:00 Agreed, we need to communicate this upfront, for instance 'In order to be able to provide X,Y,Z we will always require Javascript to be enabled/IE 8 or newer etc.

  • Require javascript to be enabled.
  • Require a modern browser (whatever jQuery requires).
  • Require PHP >= 5.3.2 (done in current master)
